Abusing Wheelchair Privileges To Cheat The Airport Security Line

This abuse of people using any excuse to get on the aircraft by requesting a wheelchair. What I find most irritating is while we have to “stand” in line sometimes for almost 30 min just to go through the screening process by the TSA, somehow those who are “sitting” in a wheelchair are given the privilege of going to the head of the line for screening is a bunch of crap, mind you they are the ones sitting while we are standing waiting to go through, than only to find them boarding the aircraft ahead of everyone else and when they are asked by the flight attendant to remain seated so the others can get off to catch a flight the insist on getting off and strolling at their leisure up the jet way, somehow they are able to walk off the aircraft without any problems., I think the system needs to be revamped by the agency who is giving all these people a reason to abuse the system. I agree that there are those who should have some of those privileges but not all that have them are legitimate.
