Norwegian term or phrase: sluse
I'm only interested in the use of this term at airports. E.g., http://www.dinside.no/917694/familier-bor-se-etter-dette-ski...

It's not a "gate" but rather a means of funneling (herding) passengers through security checkpoints. Someone who travels by air more frequently than I will probably reach out and give me a dope slap for asking this, which is fine so long as I get the correct English term in exchange.

family security lanes/special family assistance lanes


Explanation:
I actually used the facility below last month at Gatwick in London - much quicker :)

Dedicated family security lanes:

Gatwick’s recent upgrade involved updating or adding some excellent new facilities to aid family travel. Special family assistance lanes were created for both departing and arriving families. Not only it is more spacious, the dedicated security lane provides families or single adults travelling with a child / children extra help and support when going through security (just some help folding up your buggy goes a long way!).
