Checking in online for US destination for non USA citizens no longer possible?

Just tried to check in online for Cat C Firm flight to US and get a message after putting in the API, that system unavailable and have to check in at the airport... Called EK and they say new regulations (US Govt) state we have to check in at the airport, to have documents checked... This sounds like b.s. to me as they check passports anyway at the bag drop. Also a nightmare if tight connections within North America, coming back. Has anyone had this? Is the reason true or is it another IT total fail?
