Abuse of the "3 letter word" - I'm on a TEAR!

I've posted before about my coworker's niece who takes her family down there every July and gets a GAC for one of her kids. According to my coworker there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of her six kids, yet they get a GAC every single trip, including one trip my coworker went with them. She swears it got them to the front of every line. Before that trip, when she was telling me what her niece said about getting a card that lets them get on the rides faster, I explained what the GAC was for. She then came back to tell she had spoken to her niece about it and the niece got irate and defensive, saying everyone did it and it was their pediatrician who had suggested it to her and that he too was a Disney fan, who said he also got one every trip for one of his kids, even though there was nothing wrong with them either. The niece said that she had absolutely no guilt about it, since her doctor told her everyone does it, and it was stupid to stand in lines, when you didn't have to.

And it's people like THIS that my friend is turning into that prompted me to start this post to begin with. THIS is why we keep hearing rumors that Disney may eliminate GACS all together and doing so would END this problem but would also NO LONGER make Disney accessible for OUR KIDS (and adults) who TRULY NEED a GAC to survive and enjoy. I just wish there was a way for all attractions Disney to have magical lie detectors that flashed "LIAR LIAR" when people who walk into guest services for a "FREE PASS" that are there just to line jump because someone "told them to" or they think that's the 'answer' to not having to wait. It just makes me so mad.
