When our child was baby or under three, we would just carry him thru the scanner , basically just carry him and nothing is done. He now is almost 5 and he is autistic child. He may not mind and may not scream and cry unless he gets separated from us or someone comes close to him and touches him. We have trip coming up soon and we wonder if TSA will allow us to carry him thru the screener like before or they will tell us someone has to pat my child down and screen him? If it is the later, then we may have to talk to the TSA and ask for supervisor. Should we notify the TSA in advance for this or its not a big deal and since he is 4 years old, they won't screen him privately.? We do have TSA precheck.

Thanks
