I'd like to thank you and everyone responsible for this BBQ for demonstrating just how assine and pointless the TSA screening is.

After seeing this pic I have two wishes. One, that DL serve some of that BBQ in FC, especially this Weds on the DTW-HNL flight and two, the next time I fly thru ATL maybe they'll have one of those BBQ's out at like D38 when I have to walk on the tarmac. Maybe I could stop by for a quick rib lol....I think the whole thing is great.

At the bottom of the jetway stairs, we have a group of employees that have hauled in a large BBQ rig, fuel, and (I assume) typical BBQ tools - large oversized forks and knives.
At the top of the jetway stairs, we have passengers and crew that are herded through nude-scopes and metal detectors to make sure they are not carrying nail clippers.
How do we nominate the picture for a Pulitzer?

And fuel.........well.........I hate to tell you this but *DUN DUN DUNNNNNN* They already have access to plenty of fuel. Look I hate the TSA rigmarole as much as about anyone, but that is a reach.

I think you may be assuming a bit much as far as what's there from that picture. Don't know how much you BBQ, but as those are hamburgers, I think a spatula, rather than a collection of medieval swords would probably take care of that.

My god people. You have both depth perception and reality problems. The only thing that *may* be under the jetbridge would be the table that has the gray tub. The grill is not close to being under the jetbridge.
I always joked with fellow FT lurkers that you guys complain about everything, but I was just joking. Now im not so sure....
Good for you guys in ATL having a cookout. Glad to see you guys get a little bit of recognition.

This sort of thing may seem unusual for downtown office types, but if you're in a suburban office park, grilling in the parking lot is not at all strange from time to time.
Anyhow, presuming it was sanctioned and all safety procedures were taken into consideration (which I'm sure they were), I don't see a problem with it. They don't exactly have a parking lot or grassy area where they could do this sort of thing.

DL Cookouts
Personally, I highly doubt that complies with local fire code, if the grill is actually underneath the jetway. Most local fire codes specify that grills must be used at a minimum distance from any overhanging physical structure, to minimize the risk of exposure-related fires.
Me bad.
