Phil Smith@PhilSmithATL·
I’ve been spending a lot of time in Pennsylvania lately. Last week took me to Lancaster and York counties. Later this month, I’ll be in Pittsburgh for events at Pitt, Carnegie Mellon, and then back to Philly for a community wide program at Villanova. Invite us to your town too!

@RepSmucker hosted over 100 Lancaster County constituents at Penn Manor High School to work through the federal budget together. We joined to help guide residents across party lines as they weighed tradeoffs on everything from defense to Medicare. 📰: bit.ly/4doRHu1

@scott_higg @MurphyAJC Wow! I thought there might be multiple lines merging or something. It’s a real luck of the draw on where you enter the line or which line you can find on a day like today. Mine was brutal but I’m glad you were able to get through so fast.

@PhilSmithATL @MurphyAJC No, domestic. Line started in aisle on south side near the doors at Marta by baggage claim. Was a straight shot to Precheck until entering the security area.

An Atlanta airport update from @PhilSmithATL — that the Monday morning TSA pre-check line stretches outside the airport into arrivals and drop-offs. “I thought four hours early was going to be good, but it’s not.”

@scott_higg @MurphyAJC How did you do that? I was in PreCheck prior to 6 AM and didn’t through until well after 9 AM. Were you on the International side?

@erichhartmann @MurphyAJC Senate Democrats offered legislation to fix it. Last night, the Republican leader of the Senate offered something similar. The White House said no. There is only one President and we can’t get through this (or other big federal budget challenges) without executive leadership.

@CressieT0404 @MurphyAJC I think I might’ve been in line at exactly the wrong time. Even on a normal Monday it starts getting better around 9 AM (after the morning rush). If I had it to do over again I would’ve gone to the International side.

@MurphyAJC @PhilSmithATL I'm in the ATL line right now. Got in line at 8:45 and at 10:07 I'm about 10 minutes from security or a noon flight.

@mickthestick6 @MurphyAJC It makes sense. If Washington would do its job we wouldn’t have deal with all this and be forced to make alternative plans like you describe.

@SlimShady274 @MurphyAJC Granted it was their first few hours there but I didn’t really didn’t see them doing anything. One suggestion I would have is maybe they could help organize the mammoth lines. We needed more people helping show us which lines were which. It took me forever to find the start.

@jr_tnd @LandonB32 @MurphyAJC This was my biggest mistake this morning. Last week so many people had used the International side that the airport had asked us not to do that (at one point it was worse over there than at domestic). I also had to check luggage this AM which further complicated things for me.

@TetaMiki2 @MurphyAJC lol! Not complaining just trying to let folks know what the current situation is at ATL so they can decide how early to get here.I’m happy to get up as early as I need to. Today 4 hours wasn’t enough for Pre-Check- God only knows what General Boarding was.

@theberger87 @MurphyAJC Trust me, I don’t “want” to travel right now. I have to for my job. I can’t just give up because of half day delays. I have hundreds of people depending on me tomorrow and Wednesday. The good news is I planned ahead and gave myself a full day of buffer time so I hope to make it!

@mravega @Delta @ATLairport After a couple of hours on the tarmac we finally got a jet bridge operator. Once inside the ATL airport it was a madhouse at 2 AM!

@Delta After a 3 hour delay departing DCA-ATL, we’ve now been on the tarmac for more than an hour and half. Finally made it to the gate 20 30 minutes ago and nobody is here to operate the jet bridge at gate D1A. Can you send someone to help us? It’s currently 1 AM

@ATLairport please send a jet bridge operator to Gate D1A. Nobody is responding to our pilot and we’ve been stuck on the tarmac and gate for more than 1.5 hours. DAL950
