I was very thankful! Obviously this was an exception and should not be expected.

Next time you should do it to get more extra time. You have come to airport early is 2.5 hours in advance due to overcrowded at the main checkpoint. It's your own responsibility for that if your bags cannot make it. The bags will be automatically to get on next flight out of ATL.
