[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FFS what is wrong with you.

It’s insane people like this exist.[/quote]

Simmer down.  She's not sending her to a foreign country alone.  She's sending her to a different line 2 feet away.  What's wrong with you??

OP, I get you on the medical issues.  I have a kid with one and get the ease of using precheck.  I'd send the two girls to the regular line together.  [/quote]

You are vacationing together not going on a work trip, just stand in line together, it's not that big of a deal.

It's not about safety it's about having manners. [/quote]

OP said she had a medical issue that is quicker to go through precheck with.

If you have a medical device that cannot go through the body scanner and you use precheck to avoid that, that's a good enough reason to separate.  Otherwise you have to wait for a patdown and search of your devices.

OP ignore the harpies on here.  Send the girls together.  They will be fine.  It's not like you won't be able to see them the entire time.  [/quote]

Bad advice unless you get the ok for this crazy plan from the girl's mom. I would be pretty mad if someone left my child that was a guest with them unaccompanied at the airport like this. [/quote]
Your 14 year old can’t go through a line alone? You probably wouldn’t have agreed to the trip in the first place. 14 year olds don’t need to be in sight of an adult at all times.[/quote]

Not PP, but it's basic courtesy. If I'm the adult in charge of a minor guest, I do not leave them to deal with an unfamiliar line in an airport. If I can't accompany them, I get someone else to do so: my own kid.

It's a point of etiquette.

I MIGHT decide it is fine to send my own 14 year old alone in the airport but I can’t fathom taking responsibility for someone else’s and then sending them off alone without their parent ok’ing it. It’s not like they are walking down the airport hall to grab a bite - it’s the most important step of the airport process. [/quote]
