I completely agree that most, if not all, 16-year-olds should be able to get through security, navigate the airport, show up on time to the gate(s), and board airplane(s).
I do not think that many 16-year-olds are equipped with the skills and travel acumen necessary to overnight unexpectedly in an unfamiliar, random city, nor to navigate the confusing world of IRROPS on WN. In fact, many adults aren't, either.
