Way to go!
Keep people out of who have no business there.
It is about time. I am getting tired of walking into the airport and find some guy bugging passengers.
Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson is actually a good airport. I would take ATL any day over DFW, JFK, Newark, O'Hare, or LAX. It is much easier to navigate, much more efficient, and the people are nice there...nicer then other airports.
Thank you, I feel the same way about ATL. Over my years of travel, always come back to ATL as the best. Extremely efficient, easy to navigate, etc.
I feel the same way.
ATL airport is a disaster. They need to take cues from airports like ORD on how to run smooth & efficient security checkpoint lines. The North terminal in particular will have you missing your flight even arriving an hour before for a domestic flight. Funneling folks through 1 single ingress line is ridiculous. Also, the employees there (incl. TSA workers) are rude & disrespectful.
@@kevinb6745 I started flying in the 1960's and the stewardesses were like the Millennia film. Had to do a lot of jet-setting just before the first Pan pipe was blown and wow, no signs in O'Hare, nor clocks, and cops intervening in hiring a cab - need to have a valid address! DFW put the Plesiosaur in the basement. I always though Atlanta was the best that I've seen. So, if you don't answer their questions correctly they just advise you to "Hope" and some other obscure word... Reminds me of the ~100 mile from the border check point, that lady gave up asking me questions. Business or pleasure? - neither, etc.
Absolutely not true. TSA officers in Atlanta are corrupt as hell.
I agree. Only flyers and employees belong inside the airport facility. This is not a hang out
It's a public facility, regulated by the Federal government. No, it's not a "hang out", but it's PUBLIC! How long before the Hamas thugs demand Jews be removed from the buildings?
I miss the days of weird groups like Hari Krishna accosting passengers in the terminals…NOT😆
There was one guy that somehow stayed in the secure area , ate and showered at VIP lounges
Sickening how society must adapt to prevent crime from same group of ppl!
No one else should be there.
Unenforceable as a general matter, but it gives police authority to remove people who are otherwise being a nuisance, camping out, etc.
Great now if we could get restrictions at our Border
Right.
Let's see how far this goes... It's true that there has been a large problem with people coming in and making passengers and staff uncomfortable. I have seen this problem for years at the airport... though this problem is all around the USA, not only at ATL
In Clowniafornia, they dump the illegals at the airport. I've not had to fly since they have started this. But I think theft of luggage is most likely going up.
This happened years ago but not sure if it still happens today. My one aunt used work at a coffee shop years ago inside the airport. She knew people who worked at (insert food place) inside the airport and were also homeless they just used the airport as a home in a way when not working.
They have to say “safety” and “security” so as to not get sued.
O.K., folks. It's not like the bus station anymore.
Wow. This is a GOOD CRIME MEASURE from Atlanta police, BRAVO, I wish my city in surabaya Indonesia can follow this GOOD EXAMPLE. Hope Atlanta police can implement this smoothly. BRAVO From indonesia 🇲🇨🇲🇨
This measure will keep away the people who have been using the ATL as a shelter. But, where will the displaced people end up? Ultimately, we (the society and govt) need to address the fundamental issues due to which people have been falling out of the "regular" system: Addiction, homelessness, mental problems, inability to pay for healthcare and inflation.
Billions go to programs to help displaced citizens. However, nobody checks to make sure the money is spent the way it was intended.
Gentrification is also a major contributor to homelessness.
What to know! Try flying into another airport if you need to come through customs as multiple plain clothes out of town cops have been "inspecting" bags.
Good for Atlanta’s airport. Now, hospitals need to do this.
In my country you can't get into the building unless you have a ticket to travel or staff. You say your goodbyes at the door and you pick up at the door. Has always been that way.
That's honestly how most airports in the U.S. are. Most people don't hang around airports because it's just weird for most people
@@markanthony1004 , most airports allow unticketed people into the luggage claim area to meet someone getting off the plane. This has lead to luggage theft increasing over the years. When my adult kids come see us, they don't check in bags if they can help it. Can of hard to steal their luggage when they are carrying it.
Was there any particular reason you chose to leave "your" country and come to America, rather than say China or Saudi Arabia? Anything come to mind?
@@davidh9844 , you do know that other parts of the world have access to the internet right??
I am not in your Godforsaken country and never wants to come there either.
I am one person ,who since my early teen years, saw your country for the succubus you are on any country that have resources you want. I saw your country driving the drug trade and then complaining like you don't know what's going on. Using the CIA to creat strife in countries and demonised any leader of said country who won't betray their country and allow America to rape them of their resources for pittance.
I left my husband after he decided he wanted to move to America.
I have my own house, businesses and I don't pay rent for either. I would never leave my country to come and be a second class citizen in another.
Not everyone sees the US as the be all ,end all.
I certainly don't.
@@davidh9844 and before you tell me to don't mind your country's business, America and Americans are in my country lusting after our oil , gold and diamonds. So when America stops minding my country's business I'll repay that favour.
I went through Atlanta mid April… there were millions of people waiting…Delta had overbooked many flights, lots of people saying they had been waiting 24 or more hours to get home!
They had this ban in place years ago when we traveled to Manila.
We were at the baggage area and I had lifted off my checked bag and was waiting for my wife’s bag too.
Some idiot clown decides to run off with my bag, I gave chase and brought him down.
Then got yelled at by an airport cop, great they have their priorities in order
It's the necessary change in position that an airport is a public place vs. a stadium that requires a ticket for entrance.
It’s amazing how easily so many people will freely give up their freedoms for the illusion of safety. You are not safer at Atlanta airport, and you’ve given up your freedom.
Warm. I'm not giving up anything, but the next guy is! When do they give me the boot because some group chooses to discriminate against me?
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁 THE LION WAS HERE 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁 No. 502
How are you going to enforce this? I see legal challenges coming
Why would anyone outside of those groups on people “allowed” in the airport actually be IN the airport! Airports blow
Paranoia? Budget cut to reduce law enforcement staffing.
I don't get it 🤔🤔
This should have been implemented a long time ago
What really precipitated this was Covid. I’m a heavy traveler and to flying every week during Covid. What happened was the homeless shelters were closed and the homeless went to the airport. Bunches. It was safe, clean and had restrooms. In, I’d say early 2021, signs popped up say the airport would check boarding passes from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. They also limited the door entrances.
Charlotte is having a issue with the homeless living at the airport and they too are working to combat it.
The homeless were using ATL as a shelter long before Covid.
Stop using covid as an excuse to
I love this.
What could go wrong ? I understand the problem the airport is having but I can also see a lot of lawsuits happening from over-zealous officers racial-and-status profiling people who have a legitimate reason to be at the airport. Throw in a little excessive heat and stress and things can get out of hand pretty quickly..
Well, I think it’s common sense but nowadays, there’s a lot of homeless people and a lot of bums so good move🥳
People don't have to speak to the police.
customers can no longer have their money stolen
Pittsburgh has been restricted for years.
This has nothing to do with safety. I'd have more respect if they just came out and said it was to keep the homeless out.
This should be done in all airports in the United States..keeps the garbage out of the terminals..Merica has a lot of garbage..😊 we do it all over the world so it’s not a problem..😊
Let's call a spade a spade. No homeless allowed.
Good keep those bums away.
I like it!
I thought this was already a rule? No do the MARTA.. you shouldn't be on the MARTA unless you are actually going someplace.
Honestly I figured that was already the rules.
All drunks and troublemakers can stay out of
Will be tricky to enforce.
Not at all. If you do desire. But show me where there’s any enforcement of laws, rules, or regulations in the US
What was it before? Every hobo and trouble maker in town could be in there?
Pretty much
Maybe they shouid make the rules for the southern border.
Amen amen
Bologna, closing access to a public building. Gives them the right to stop anybody at will, ask you questions. Now, walking in an airport is becoming illegal and something to frown upon. Police already harassing people on the street, with the excuse that you look suspicious for walking on sidewalks. Dont be crying later when police are harassing you at the airport asking you all kinds of questions even though you have not committed a crime. Dont give your fredom away in the disguise of protection.
THANK YOU!
Since when does America enforce LAWS?
Solve homelessness first, then the airport "problem" will disappear. Much cheaper than hiring armed security year round.
😊
They need to enforce this at O'hare also. Homeless and junkies just hang out there on the pre security side at night. Got stuck their overnight once. Probably worse now being that Chicago is a sanctuary city.
This has to be to attack the homeless.
An airport isn’t shelter for transients.
Interesting update. This is a publicly owned space that has now been listed as restricted. This will be interesting how this works out!
Bad. Taking away fredoms/ access to public areas in the disguise of protection.
The airport is a privately owned facility
What about illegal immigrants 🤔
They get tickets to fly
But but but, anyone can cross the border and come here illegally 😢
Easy to deal if you have family that needs accompanying to the gate. Buy a ticket and cash it in after you see your family through to the gate. People have been doing this for years.
If you need to escort someone to the gate, you can obtain a companion pass for security from your airline. At least, I did it many years ago when we hosted an exchange student.
@@melaniewestin7183 they are now saying no unticketed passengers will be allowed inside the terminal. New rules
I am sure this will not apply to illegals.
Very Good Idea keep the homeless etc out
Yeah.. the Biden Administration will land planes there with hundreds of people who have no legal right to be there but let old Aunt Bessie not have enough money for a plane ticket and she will be thrown off the property.
Homeless and criminals roam freely 24-7 in the dumpster fire airport !! Police should enforce criminal laws !!! Stay out of Atlanta.
It sounds like just another way to harass people. I don't know why they needed a new ordinance when they already had the authority to do these things before.
If you travel much you get it
@@virginialangford6257 I've been through that airport many times and they could evict people and trespass people without the new ordinance.
@@hawhite2000But now those people are being told ahead of time they won’t be allowed in. Time and money won’t be spent having to evict them.
@@danamarie8718 Then they couldn't just had a public service announcement instead of creating new laws.
@@hawhite2000 Haha!! A public service announcement saying what? That we are going to spend resources evicting you and trespassing you? Really? Doesn’t solve the problem at all.
I imagine this violates 1st amendment rights and will be abolished.
@@minutelizard3576 public property funded by tax payers.
@jasont7540 still not applicable under the first amendment. Plus airports are built for transportation and not for gatherings.
@@minutelizard3576 I think you need to read the first amendment again. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Put on your critical thinking cap.
@jasont7540 yep that's what it says, but let's look at the precedence that was set by the Supreme Court in 1992 from International Society for Krishna Consciousness. vs. Lee. They ruled that airports are for travel and not for public forum and expression. If your trying to relate to the right to assemble I would be willing to guess a judge would differentiate between gathering to just be there versus gathering as a statement or protest.
Maybe restrict yourself from citing the constitution until you've read it.
Enjoy the lawsuits.
These girls voted for this.
Atl best airport
Lets see the drive to the Airport sucks, the roads suck, the drop off pickup area sucks, your Airport suck, your TSA sucks, your employees suck, your terminals suck, your airlines treat you like cattle on a cattle car. All in all its one big suck.
💯 one of the worst airports in the nation for all the reasons you just mentioned (save for the drive into the airport, which isn’t bad IMO)
