They don't even have to do that. They can make their fake passports say that they are 11, and just walk straight through security. Some TSOs are definitely thick enough to fall for the "oh, I have a growth defect" story :P

Of course only a tiny # of women wearing veils subscribe to this nonsense. But that's a huge percentage compared with the number that don't wear veils.
Muslim families in the US tend to be have larger households than is typical in the US and so their children will continue to get harassed by DHS/TSA far more frequently than is typical for most Americans. Muslim Americans also are more likely to fly than most other demographic groups of like socio-economic status.
America's growth in tolerance for intolerance directed at people perceived to be believers in Islam is reflected in DHS/TSA actions toward such passengers too. Any claim about government favoritism of such minorities at US airports is written on tissue paper supplied by the crocodile tear manufacturers packaging bigotry for distribution.
