UK airport e-gate failure causes nationwide delays for travelers.

A technical problem shut electronic border gates at airports across the UK for most of the day, forcing everyone to have their passports checked manually on what was expected to be one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. The Home Office said all the electronic gates were working again, but provided no details about what caused the problem. The delays affected travelers across the country, with frustrated passengers taking to social media to post photos of long lines at airports including Manchester and London Heathrow.
