Flew ATL-PHL Sunday afternoon...

There are more people going through the Pre-Check line in ATL, many of whom have not done Pre-Check before. Coats, shoes and belts were being taken off and liquids were being fished out of suitcases before the TSA staff stopped people. Obviously this is being done to make the TSA lines faster overall, but it slows down those of us who have been using Pre-Check for the past almost couple of years.

Landing in PHL, taxiing in was slow. As had been predicted, it seemed ATC could not handle both take-offs and taxiing planes simultaneously. We landed early and got to the gate on time, but we did spend longer than usual getting from the landing runway to the gate.
