I'm not a lawyer, but...
1) The ADA doesn't apply to all branches of federal government. I'm unsure of whether it applies to the TSA.
2) They're not being denied access to transportation, they're just being directed to a different security checkpoint.
3) The ADA doesn't apply to air carriers, though it's not clear this would be an air carrier issues but rather a TSA issue. Still, airlines are bound by the Air Carrier Access Act.
