OP - if you are interested in following up - (404) 530-6667 or Contact Us ? Security | ATL | Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

I imagine they would be very interested in your experience and observations.

See something, say something. Nothing less/nothing more to do.

I think it's okay to "say nothing" in this instance - as it almost always is.

Just my quick $0.02; those who are qualified to speak on occurrences such as these (I.e. SIDA badge holders, those with knowledge of security measures, etc) are prevented from doing so due to specific airport regulations regarding the release of security protocols.

Not trying to be a "Debbie Downer" on the thread, but those with answers won't be able to post specific info without being in violation of their SIDA badge agreement.

As mentioned above, the best way to handle concerns would be to contact ATL airport security at 404-530-6667

What? You're reading a way to broad interpretation of these agreements. Agreements that arent required for most jobs that require a badge at most airports. Also what security measures are you talking about? No one has asked for any. Most employees at an airport would not be given knowledge of privileged security measures. The only things they know would be what the public knows. Ie you need a card/PIN to access a restricted area. No one is asking where the cameras are at, what security staffing numbers are, etc....Not that most employees would have that full knowledge. Theres no agreement that says you can't say you can't access the apron without card. This is already public knowledge. Those with knowledge of privileged info would normally sign a separate agreement pertaining to that particular info. Even then it would only pertain to that which is privileged, which what most the frontline employee has access to isn't .

Opinion noted, and perhaps I'm being a bit conservative, but I tend to err on the side of caution when I've signed documents at numerous airports that specifically state that I'm prohibited from divulging any security info.

Perhaps your and my definitions of SSI differ, if that's the case, we can simply agree to disagree - that said, I'm not looking to derail this thread any further. My apologies if my post was off topic, I was simply attempting to assist with some insight.

There's nothing in the (publicly-accessible) ATL SIDA badge application/agreement that prohibits discussing this information. I agree with the flyerCO - with few exceptions, no airline employee holding a SIDA badge would have any insight into the detailed security processes in place in ATL (or any airport). I bet someone just called the elevator from the ramp and walked away before it actually arrived...it's not an uncommon occurrence with elevators that serve both the ramp and sterile area in any airport.

I also agree with Loadmaster...a quick call to the ATL Security Office with details of exactly when this happened would keep it from happening again.
