And not everybody who is handicap has a physical element that is physically visible from the outside. And yes you will always have somebody taking advantage of a situation. I heard you can even rent a handicap person to go to the theme parks cost you a couple hundred bucks +3rd ticket but you get to go to the front of the line all the time because of the handicap access at least you used to be able to a few years ago.

It's great that your mom can get out and travel, and only needs assistance in a wheelchair for the long distances within the airport.
That being said, may we all assume that once she gets to the gate she loses the wheelchair and gets in the regular boarding line?????
