I have also winessed the screaming TSA people and total confusion. It gives a terrible impression of the US to international visitors.
IMHO just being able to not go thru this when the new terminal is finished will be a great improvement.
Its also interesting hearing about access via the i75. I normally take MARTA to and from the airport and wonder if they are planning to add another stop?
The "transportation corridor" train/people mover is being extended to run to concourse F. So, it would appear that you would continue to take MARTA to the existing airport station, go through security as at present, and take the "transportation corridor" out to F.
I'm not sure how they are going to resolve the traffic issues with the new international terminal entrance being almost next to Delta TechOps, which is major employment center with its own very large parking structure.
