Tom thinks if you go thru a ton of security checks in St Maarten then when you hit the states you should just go thru customs and off you go to your connecting gates. Multiple check points in Atlanta: long line to scan passport and have photo taken, long line to show photo, long line to go thru customs, long line to scan luggage then train to gate. took an hour and a half. everyone just wants to get home. I also really enjoyed Delta..they really do treat you with respect and the choices for free movies, HBO, SHOWTIME and TV shoes was amazing. Made the flight seem very short.
