My children and I arrived at the Atlanta airport over an hour before our flight to New York. The flight was at 8:50 am and we checked our bags and proceeded to security. I was advised by the man tagging the bag the lines were long due to security. We stood in line and the line was not moving. After some time we made it to the gate just in time, but was turned away because the man at the deck said they had already filled out seats! I said we are here on time and the security line was over an hour…

In June of 1930, Delta Air Service (Delta Air lines known as today), performed…
the quality ones, they’re not as effective as they may seem. Lastly, they present images of the passengers as if they were unclothed. The intrusive airport security procedures done today should be fixed, because they’re not accurate, they’re expensive, and they produce images of the travelers as if they were undressed. Why do we have the airport security measures we have today? Ever since people started traveling by air, airline passengers and the cargo have been the target of any terrorist…
