Returning from EZE January 12 with wife and kids. EZE was a madhouse, and we elected to take the bump and fly a day later.(Our DL flight, as we learned later,ultimately departed about 3 1/4 hours late) Our children were compelled by work obligations to fly 1/12 and report standing in lines for 7 hours amid thousands of angry passengers who threatened and occasionally attacked immigration personnel and others. ALL flights--not just AR--were affected by these conditions.

When we left the following night all was nearly back to normal, in part because a considerable number of Argentinan police in riot gear were lined up shoulder to shoulder near security screening.
