I looked twice to verify that she needed the wheelchair.
I'm not quite sure why Pike wrote this. Was he afraid that the wheelchair concealed a weapon of some sort? But how can you visually verify that a person needs a wheelchair?
I also wonder what Pike thinks now that his employer is being sued over the violations of patents in their open source GUI software. The swipe-to-unlock patent strikes me as about as obvious as backing store.

Considering the sign she had, I think Pike considered the hypothesis that she was using the wheelchair as a "theatrical prop".
