I just cleared (Thursday at 3:30pm) the south TSA PreCheck checkpoint here in Atlanta. This is the spot that has been serving as the “PreCheck” area for quite a while now. I noticed a few weeks ago that the area had been enlarged. In a change since last week, Delta has added a Sky Priority lane to this area as well. Be advised – even though it might look like it from the outside, the Sky Priority lane does not merge with the PreCheck line. The entrance where this new Sky Priority line is located is essentially the same spot that was PreCheck. They’ve moved the queue entrance for PreCheck just a few feet away towards Brooks Brothers.
If you just follow the signs for PreCheck, you’ll be fine. Don’t enter the Sky Priority lane by mistake. It looks like it will merge with the PreCheck line in front of the ID and boarding pass scanner, but it’s actually divided. You’ll get the nekked scanner treatment there. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Thanks for the heads-up. That would have been me in the SP line Monday morning.
Avoided the scanners since they were rolled out until going through Immigration in ATL and was in the wrong line, no Pre-Check and no ability to opt out.
I know many dont like the scanners but for many of us its a better alternative to a full pat down.
I cant use the metal detector, as many others cant due to an implanted device.
I am happy to see the scanners being added to the Pre-Check so I can actually use it.
