Long Lines Lead to Rise of Wheelchair 'Miracles'
 

This story speaks to the larger problems in our society. Looking for a short-cut... scamming and tricking the system. It's not just in the airports, either!

"Los Angeles — It happens regularly, airport officials say. A traveler requests a wheelchair, gets pushed to the front of the security line and screened—and then jumps up out of the chair and rushes off into the terminal.
"We call them 'miracles.' They just start running with their heavy carry-ons," said wheelchair attendant Kenny Sanchez, who has been pushing for more than 14 years."

Someone should accidentally trip them.

They would love it! One lawsuit against the person and another against the Airport.

Yeah, there is that. But, if they are on camera, I wouldn't let them board a plane.

Maybe they are just trying to "build faith". Isn't that the excuse fake faith healers have used to justify having ringers go through the healing line?

Like Monday morning miracles. People too sick to attend church Sunday AM, suddenly get a healing come Monday AM. Happens a lot.

These are the same people who have all the handicapped tags who come hopping and skipping out of their cars.

Or at least the gate agents could "detain" them, making them wait for another wheelchair to be brought (and these things take time, ya know) so they can be wheeled down the jet bridge. :lol
