The standing question is a serious one for many people. Wheelchairs are an option if you can find one. An alternative is having a bag you can sit on. When I travel with an elderly family member, I try to get them into a chair where they can watch the progress of the line--no chairs at DFW until you get past security!!!

As far as cuts at the front of the line. People can get really angry if you try to do that!!

Now on 01/17 the local tv news is advising at least a 2 hour ahead arriveal at DFW as Aa started bag matching early.
