 Passengers were stranded at LAX because government computers couldn't screen them...

More than 20,000 international passengers, both Americans and foreigners, sat in four airport terminals and in 60 planes starting about 2 p.m. on Saturday, when the computer system broke down, said Los Angeles World Airports spokesman Paul Haney.

Good luck l8tly! I don't think you'll experience the same problem. They apparently got it fixed today.

Nonetheless, good luck, post here when you're home so we know you made it.

A major switch in the system, which contains names of arriving passengers and law enforcement data about them, including arrest warrants, had failed and had to be replaced, said Mike Fleming, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman.
