Is there any airport with more rude staff than ATL?

The actual Delta staff were ok but the TSA staff were completely unprofessional. Non airline and non security staff were more concerned with bullshitting with coworkers or playing on their phones than they were with serving customers. I'm no world traveler but I've been to quite a few airports all over the country and I've never seen any this bad.

Definitely. That and LA X. Atlanta isn't in the ballpark of these two.

I'd add JFK to those two as well.

The TSA baggoons are worse than the terrorists.

Last time I went through customs in ATL they pulled me out of line and grilled me for 45 minutes about why I was out of the country.

When you come into customs there is a sign that says "no cell phones" but it is on the far wall about 50 feet from where you enter. The line runs perpendicular to that wall so people never see it.

This means every 5 seconds the staff berate some poor person just trying to let their family know they're back on US soil safe and sound.

Idk why they don't put the fricking sign by the doorway so people see it.

They're bad everywhere. Hell, I've had terrible experiences in Ft. Walton.

Maybe it was just a bad day, but I will NEVER willingly stop in Charlotte again. NEVER.

They are all bad. They are in the process of "looking" into TSA and replacing them with a private security firm. But, they do this every couple of years. TSA will be better for a little while, then back to long lines etc.

I hate that airport as well. It's just so fricking spread out. If you have a tight connection and you're at the end of the B terminal and have to go to the end of E, then good luck.

Things are so bad in Atlanta they are considering privatizing the TSA functions......

O'Hare International had some of the rudest fricks I've ever had to deal with in àn airport.

Never had a problem with ATL.

It's not the most diverse airport staff either.

Every airport has their bad apples, however, TSA staff seem to be consistently shitty regardless of the airport.
