If you've traveled through Denver International Airport lately, you've seen them--special security lanes for families. The Transportation Security Administration is trying out the special checkpoint lanes to help ease some of the pressure on parents who are dealing with young children. It's also a relief for travelers stuck behind them in line.

The special lanes are being tested at airports in Denver and Salt Lake City. The TSA said the voluntary program could expand to other airports around the country if the experiment proves that security lines are faster.
