The Foreign Office is warning that thousands of tourists could be turned away at US airports and ports, as a new online entry system comes into effect.

From 12 January, visitors from countries which do not need visas will need to fill in an electronic form at least 72 hours before they travel.

Those who have not registered risk being detained and sent back home.

Interesting that the BBC online tells you all about it, even to the point of mentioning unscrupulous sites that charge for the form, yet don't give a link to the free form?????

BTW, here is the link ...
