Dubiously Disabled

Dubiously Disabled | National Review Online:
"With regularity, the Wall Street Journal recently reported, airport employees witness people who falsely claim to be handicapped when they arrive at the airport.
Having successfully cut to the front of the long security lines, these parasites jump out of their chairs the moment they’re through the screening process and race to their gates, bags in tow.
Airport security sardonically calls these occurrences “airport miracles,” because the body scanners seem to possess mysterious healing powers.
How big is the problem?
One airport investigated the matter and concluded that at least 15 percent of wheelchair requests are phonies designed to game the system. 
Some think that estimate is low."
