I believe they let her go though. Not sure if she was actually supposed to be in zone 1 (she did not seem to be in J or at least I did not notice her), or possibly had requested assistance and was in the Z 1.5 or so? Or she just believe that because of the cane and her age she would get away with it?

I don't really mind them letting people with mobility aids go first. There's a big difference between "I limp with a cane" and "I'm not as spry as when I was 20 (though can still run a marathon) so I need more time".
