I think that is what they are concerned about, and why they allow those with kids to go through the WTMD. I've once or twice tried to stay close (not so close it is creepy though
) to a woman with kids hoping they would think I was the dad, but sometimes the age isn't right
. I think it has worked once or twice, as I got to go through the WTMD right after the woman.
