great... One more question does a child need its own and if yes anyway to get credit for child to - can a kid be a au ?
AU can't be under 15, however the AU doesn't need to match the GE application, so make an AU for someone over 15 and use that AU card for the child's GE application.

I believe with TSA(domestic flights) children 12 and under come with the parent who has TSA precheck without needing their separate TSA pre check

for GE kids need their separate card however some have reported they were let through so YMMV

They may let you through, but they can officially take away your GE for doing it.

They can take away GE even though they are the ones that let you through?  By letting you enter aren't they waiving the requirement for the child

can you link the source for this I would be interested to read it
