When you’re standing in line waiting to go through the security checkpoint at the airport, aren’t you just a little bit curious about what the TSA folks are seeing on those x-ray screens as everyone’s carry-on bag passes by?

Found, discarded and recycled materials: art at Albany International Airport

Over the holidays I spent a few hours hanging out at the (north) end of the International Concourse at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
