Seattle, our local airport, had had a special line for families for several months. It's pretty miserable, and we don't use it... While they pitch it as a convenience for families (and it looks shorter) its real impact is to speed up the regular line and it moves at a much slower pace than the regular line.

The one thing I've seen TSA doing recently that did help? In San Francisco the agents had TSA Badge stickers and told my toddler that he would get one once he had his shoes off, his blanket on the conveyer belt and was ready to walk through security! He travels enough that he knows what to do and takes pride in doing it well, but the stickers were a great reward anyway & I imagine they would help a lot with a toddler struggling with the details of getting through security.
