Special TSA line for age 75.

[noelsk]

Is there a special TSA line for disabled or over age 75 at all U. S. Southwest airports?

Sorry, but I am unaware of ANY special TSA lines (excpet TSA pre) for any group of people. TSA rules however have a special provision for those 75 or older: they are not required to remove shoes and light jackets.

I have seen special TSA screening lines for families, but not for older individuals. Here's TSA's web page regarding 75+ individuals:

Give yourself plenty of time to get through security so you don't feel rushed and remember you can always ask for a private screening if you're not comfortable being with the crowds.

That's true, I have seen this at MDW, although I don't know if I'd call it a dedicated line the same way TSA Pre or A-list Fly By Priority lanes are enforced - it's a sign that says families feel free to go over here and everyone else feel free not to, but do whatever you want.
