Not an "easy" day. Was STN hit by the Sasser worm? today (5/5/04)

Was STN hit by Sasser today or was it just a "normal" computer error that put Easyjet and Thomson onto manually writing boarding cards today?

It obvioulsy was not a good start to the day again for Easyjet. Actually it was delays both ways on STN to EDI and back for me.

Just glad I was not going to Glasgow this evening. As we walked off the aircraft Glasgow bound easyjet passengers were told to head back to the check in desks via the baggage carousel, "Due to earlier delays your flight is now leaving from Luton."

Can anyone suggest a reason why it makes sense to have the pasengers collect then re-check bags as opposed to keep them secure, transport them and load them at Luton? I can only assume it is incase people decide not to travel.
