Three Hours to Clear Customs In US of A

IF you are travelling to the dreamland United States of America, be prepared to languish in airports for two to three hours before you are cleared by Customs. The US Government has imposed cuts on hiring and overtime last week and the result is at New York's JFK airport and Miami International, you will have to spend two to three hours before Customs will clear you. The situation is expected to worsen in the coming weeks. Uncle SAM has no money - even to man Customs!
