Unless people are sneaking in dogs who don't apply, the airlines have some very strict guidelines around these sorts of things.
On a side note, again, I'm at 40k miles thus far this year and am yet to see one. Mostly people are here just whining for nothing other than the desire to see themselves type.
I'm at 92,000 this year and I have seen them at least 10 times this year and it's only April. Maybe it's just Delta's hubs that have a higher percentage of those taking advantage of the law. It's gotten out of control with fake ESDs that are clearly not trained. Trained ESDs do not look longingly at, and sniff other passengers burger king bags. The trained animal is easily spotted....
