Extra EU border checks suspended at English port after long delays for ferry to France

Extra European Union border checks were suspended at the Port of Dover after passengers waited hours in the heat to board ferries to cross the English Channel. Travelers were stuck in long lines on the hottest day of the year, with temperatures reaching 86 degrees. The suspension of checks allowed wait times to ease later in the day. The new system, which uses photos and fingerprints instead of passport stamping, was being tested during the holiday weekend.
