Thanks Sydney. That's my plan B for here in a few hours.

I was just hoping they had their formal Gate Pass process back in place like it used to. I seem to remember you could request it, at the discretion of someone, and they'd let you walk them to the gate. That being said, it was more for helping say a partner better manage if they had a toddler with them, or an elderly grandparent sort of thing --but you never know!
