CNBC is reporting that the computer systems in question is the ones that check airline passenger names against the Homeland Security terror watch list.

As of now the Department of Homeland Security hasn’t confirmed the problems at its website or on social media channels.

NBC New York is reporting that a “glitch” in the Homeland Security computer systems is causing backups at JFK. NBC News quotes high level government officials saying that a glitch in the security systems has indeed occurred, and could not provide an estimated resolution time.
