Atlanta police officers working at the world’s busiest airport are speaking out about the increase in incidents caused by an ever-growing homeless population.
While the homeless cannot go through the security gates without a pass, that does not stop them from setting up camp across the North and South Terminals as well as the connecting Atrium, which was built as a respite for airline passengers.
...
Officers said men have used the airport floor as a toilet. One man who was totally naked defecated and then decided to lounge on airport furniture, according to police.
Officers said some homeless have open sores and need to be somewhere else other than the airport.
...
The complaints from police follow a change in enforcement. They said the city of Atlanta law department has instructed the officers not to do the daily sweeps they once did. That change means they cannot enforce basic trespass laws.

Amazing! A Republican becomes President and SUDDENLY the media once again discovers the homeless! It’s uncanny, is what it is!
Put your face down there and suck it up, White boy. WE’RE in control now. I have to believe we’re about to win I Can’t stand thinking of the alternative.
Where did they stay while Obama was President?
SHITHOLE
everywhere the left rules..even in red states those blue areas are all ()#* holes.
There were articles about the homeless long before Trump took office.

I took my son in ATL last Monday morning for a flight back to college and I was amazed at the number of homeless we passed on the way to check in. When we took the train from the hotel (that runs between the airport and rental car facility) there were several folks asleep on the floor as we were waiting in the train.
That is not typical of airports.
Self-induced; quit whining, Atlanta.
I wonder if the permissiveness is part of a local political statement.
I can see that you are a Dan Bongino fan too.
Atlanta is a shithole. Few years ago I rode MARTA. Swore if I made it off alive would NEVER ride it again
Atlanta, well you're moving up the ladder to join other Black Majority $hit holes like Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis and Washington, DC. You must be so proud. Before long, Atlanta will be just like Johannesburg, South Africa. Black "leadership," making big-city $hit holes all over America.
Hotlanta.
Sh-tlanta too?
The article states that LE was instructed to not do daily sweeps. The ATL political scene is headed to Detroit like.
Typically, public libraries are the place for the daytime homeless.
Just waiting to catch the next flight to their shithole countries.
I used to go to Atlanta for DragonCon.
2004 might have been the last one and that was the last time for Atlanta. I don’t miss the city or DragonCon either.
