ATL, Term-E/F, internat arrival-- Priority Security Check?
Hi all,
Arriving ATL internat., likely into E-- is there a way to avoid the general security screening and find a Sky Priority line (that is faster), when connecting to a domestic flight?
At JFK I just walk upstairs, but haven't found the option in ATL...
Thanks in advance, Ken

Later flights send connecting passengers to E, where IIRC there is a SkyPriority security lane. Terminating passengers are sent to F. However, if you don't have a checked bag, you can follow the exit signs for passengers terminating in ATL, do immigration and customs in F, and then go upstairs in F to re-enter throughout the SkyPriority security line.
... thanks.

Look for the military passengers. For some reason, they all seemed to be using the SP security lane.

On my last arrival in E, I saw for the first time a SP sign, but without clear indication where to go to. So I asked and the agent opened a closed rope to let me shortcut the whole queue. Haven't seen an SP sign in F though.

UPDATE: though it doesn't really get you past the whole queue... just through the line a bit faster. You still have to wait behind anyone in the accumulated line at the metal detectors.
