Not that very many people on here come through HSV... like... ever. But! Just on the very off-chance that you're originating in HSV today, or plan on coming through on your way to ATL or something and coming out of the sterile area for a bite to eat...
A power surge caused by heavy thunderstorms in the area seem to have shorted out our x-ray machines.
Dead.
Everybody processing through the checkpoint — every...single...one — therefore has to have a full physical inspection of every cotton-pickin' thing they're bringing through, with accompanied explosive testing.
If you're originating in HSV today (and no idea when the machines will be repaired; it could be several, several hours), please plan accordingly.
Sounds like a good day for screeners to call in sick.
