There were also long lines in Boston's Logan Airport and Los Angeles International Airport.
The traveling snafu caused delays ranging from 30 minutes to two hours and hundreds of people got off flights and into motionless queues.
John F Kennedy International Airport had delays up to 90 minutes long. The outage began around 5.00pm and lasted until 9.00pm ET. Some passengers had to be processed by hand because of the glitch.
During the outage, passengers were able to be processed because customs had access to national security-related databases. There is no evidence that the computer malfunction signified hacking.
In scorching hot Miami, which had a high temperature of 84 degrees Farenheight today, the waiting was too much to handle.
One passenger vommitted while waiting in line to the horror of the hundreds of people in the queue. There are also reports that two people passed out while waiting
