^^. It could be in any of the bag rooms (landside, B, C, E, or F), cold bag storage, at a bag point, or being tugged tail-to-tail depending on where you checked it, where you're connecting from, or the length of your connection. ATL has over 30 miles of baggage belts that process over 60k bags a day.
Fun fact: any of you remember Eastern's old tunnel between the north ends of B and C? It still exists and now contains the belt that connects B/C bag rooms.
