FAA orders ground stop at all airports due to computer failure
Just got this message from our corporate travel office:

"Due to a FAA computer failure, an immediate ground stop has been ordered for ALL U.S. Airports. Passengers planning to fly into or out of any U.S. airport should contact their airlines or visit the airlines web site in advance of departure to confirm flight status. Airports are likely to become crowded, and lines will be long. Allow extra time to get to the airport, check in and go through security."

Anyone know about this? Can't find it on any news outlets.
