Bad, because he cost the American taxpayers $2,000,000 (the cost of shutting the airport down and rescreening everyone, the cost of aircraft sitting idle on the ramp, the cost - fuel cost and otherwise - of diverting inbound traffic elsewhere).

This was a very stupid person.

There is one teensy, tiny little detail that has not been mentioned. Hartsfield is run by the city of Atlanta, as in Bill Campbell. That has as much to do with the inept reaction of airport personnel as the man running the wrong way on the escalator. I can almost picture "security" sitting on their butts yelling, "Stop! Stop! Hey, he didn't stop. I have to call my supervisor. I'm not chasin' that fool through the airport."

NO, the people in charge who decided to shut everything down caused millions in expense.The same people who put in place all the asinine regulations and rules and laws that did not prevent the Sept 11 bombing but have wasted BILLIONS of dollars in time and inconvenience for decades.The same people who will prosecute you for having the means to defend yourself as provided for in the Bill of Rights. If people had reacted this way in previous wars, nothing would have gotten done. All this evacuating building because of steak knives and other politically correct stupidity is a sign of weakness, not strength.

Some of you want a straight-jacket world, you are WORSE than the leftists you claim to despise.You and the communists are racing to wipe your butts with the Constitution, all the while crying for Big Brother to "fix" everything and make us all "secure".Total dictatorship is the only total security ;I wish YOU could live under it, but let me be free.
