(20 May 2009)
Full implementation of the US Customs and Border Protection ESTA Visa Waiver Programme has been delayed by up to a year to allow airlines and the public more time to comply with the scheme.

Snippet(s):
"The flagship security project - the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) - is an online version of the I-94 Green Card, which is currently completed by passengers on inbound flights.
ESTA went live in January as planned, but all travellers from the 35 visa waiver countries are still required to fill in the I-94 for the time being."
