The first two levels reopened Wednesday. And I don't think it is "missing the point" to remark that allowing people to drive up to the terminal doors unimpeded is just as risky, if not more so, than letting people park another 100 feet away in a concrete parking deck. Motorized vehicle proximity to the terminal is the same point, so it is not changing the point to discuss those vehicles parking near the terminal while at the same time discussing those vehicles driving near the terminal. In an age of suicide bombers, it makes no difference whether the driver is still with the car or not.
At any rate, the front rows of the ATL Gold lots are open again. Thank goodness.
