Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is my least favorite airport. Today, I am traveling through Atlanta and the dread is mounting. Of course, I may have an uneventful flight … I hope so, since I am carrying a frozen turkey. I called the Louisville, Kentucky airport and TSA supposedly said I could bring my frozen turkey as long as I did not have any frozen liquids packed around the bird. We will see.
Back to Atlanta … it’s not my least favorite airport because it is huge and always busy. It even does not bother me that my flight typically lands at one end of the airport and my connecting flight is at the other end and I only have thirty minutes to get from gate to gates [Okay, I have to admit I don't like it]. I am not particularly fond of the flight delays either, but what I like the least is the incompetent manner in which the airport seems to be operated. 
- the staff is at best apathetic, at worst [I don't use that type of language]
- there seems to be no planning for capacity [during peak hours it seems to make sense to have all the security lines open instead of half]
- sitting in the plane forever waiting to take off or for a gate to open is no fun

Maybe I owe Hartsfield-Jackson an apology. Well, probably not, but I arrived at my destination with my almost-still-frozen-smoked-turkey.
First, I was not 100% certain that there would be no problems with me transporting a frozen turkey. There was none.
Secondly, there was only a limited delay in Atlanta and there was no glaring displays of incompetence.
Now, I am really scared about my trip to the Quito, Ecuador!
