Do you have teenagers as part of your travel crew? Children under the age of 12 can go through airport screening by “piggybacking” on the TSA PreCheck of one of their parents. However, once they turn 13, TSA can randomly exclude them from receiving PreCheck on their boarding pass and require them to use the standard security screening process at the airport. Getting separated from your teen in the madness of the airport is one thing, but add in diabetes supplies, pumps, CGMs, and insulin, and it becomes much more stressful!
