How that lady is moving. The humans are the backup system lol. We rely on technology because it means passports are processed way quicker lol.

What do you mean lack of human backup systems? That’s what the manual checking of the passports was.

"Need to get their staff out of bed into the airport quick smart" - so staff need to work their days off or come in early so you can go on holiday quicker? It's not their fault the technology crashed 🙄

Border force doesn’t have enough manpower to tackle such outages because of lack of investment in manpower and budgets cuts.

It’s shocking the system and how long it takes and the long lines ups, you’d think with all the technology now it wouldn’t be like that. Mum and I hadn’t traveled for years and did recently and it seems way worst than it use to be. Long as wait lines long as walking it just all seemed chaos. Years ago it was better.
