Avoiding the mess at ATL E international arrivals security?

Howdy,

Just landed < 5pm, took me more than 2 hours to get to the F lounge given the mess at E security.

Rather young agent there told me that Sky Priority was "closed." Haven't had that happen in a while.

For those not intent on having an argument with a TSA agent half our age while jetlagged, is there always an option to exit and enter upstairs where one has both PreCheck and Sky Priority? I've done this in the past after asking at bag check, but was well down the kettle before I realized how bad it was tonight.

As well, is there or is there not supposed to be a priority lane at E? For the previous couple years, it seems it's always "closed" in the sense that the rope is closed, but if you ask the agent opens it and lets you through.

Thanks.


P.S. OK, who moved the input on the fax machine to the wrong port?
