Re: a 12-year-old flying unsupervised (from security to the gate/plane & back): what's the fear? That she'll actually be hurt? That she'll make poor decisions, e.g. buying candy for lunch or not doing homework? That she'll get scared/overwhelmed?

It's *really* important that we nail these goal posts down, because as long as we're using "kids can't be put in danger" to defend *actually* sheltering them from any discomfort or bad decision-making, we can't have a real conversation about whether that might be hobbling them.
