What I see sometimes is when a group of 7 (not joking) boarded together with one wheel chair.
This is why this shouldn't exist. 7 is nothing on Asia. In HKG the security regularly comes to a screeching halt when a family the size of a high school excursion follow great-great-granddaddy through the priority security.

One family member/companion per impaired passenger, no priority for small kids ... everything was fine with the old process and now it sucks.

The slap in the face of the elites is the sole purpose of this exercise. Anything short of sending letters along with the MP cards saying "we don't need you, you are mere dead weight", could not have been as clear as this message.
