Except during breaches. Even if they had cleared the tunnel, they cannot leave the belt, doing so, makes that another breach.
While we can't detain or attempt to physically stop you (nothing about verbally attempting to stop you), it's not recommended, because any breach will be reported to the operations center and the airport police. And they can stop you/detain you.
And if you don't stop for them, you will most likely be arrested for failure to obey a police officer and possibly resisting arrest.
As for the drill thing?
ATL isn't my airport, so I don't have anything to say.
