Have you ever tried to get your family through an airport security checkpoint? While you're removing the shoes from your squirming toddler, shoving the car seat through the X-ray machine, and carefully lifting your sleeping baby from the stroller, the guy behind you screams "Hurry up!"The Transportation Security Administration recognizes that families move through security at a slower pace and it's expanding its 'family lanes' program to every airport security checkpoint in America. Assistants will be on hand to help families and travelers with special needs move through security. At the 45 largest airports, special scanners will be available to screen large bottles of "medically necessary" liquids such as infant formula and contact-lens solution.
The family lanes, currently available at only 48 airports, will be in place at every large and midsize airport by Thursday, November 20, just in time for the busy holiday travel period, and they will remain permanently.
How do you manage to get through airport security with kids?
