Just curious what everyone's take is on the following situation...
I was going through the PreCheck line (Terminal 6, 11AM, for a noon departure) at LAX.
Ahead of the traveler in front of me were parents with a child (appearing to be in his late teens) on the autism spectrum, with sensory issues.
They (not so discreetly) explained their situation to the traveler in front of me, as well as why they were all in the PreCheck lane (in order to minimize any contact their son would have with screeners, due to sensory issues).
The family proceeded through screening, treating it as if were any normal security lane - pulling out medicines, and liquids, taking multiple bins in the process.
While the amount of time they took would have been considered terrific if they were going through a regular screening lane, it was an eternity in Pre.
The traveler in front of me seemed a bit frustrated but didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything either, as I was on leisure travel, and not in any particular rush.
I'm just curious as to how you all think everything was handled.
Do you think the parents should have done things any differently (i.e. - offering to step aside for those behind them - it was considerate that they explained why they were slower).
Do you think they improperly used the PreCheck lanes?
It wasn't a terribly busy afternoon (by LAX standards), but had it been, I think a lot more people would have been frustrated.
