That is a humane attitude. The key word in any risk management program is acceptable. To those being screened. To fellow travellers. To those on the ground.
Reasonable people would consider lesser screening of disabled passengers (with appropriate behavioural observation) to be acceptable.
Why then do some TSOs try to achieve 100.00000% certainty that a given passenger carries no prohibited items?
