I've posted this previously, but SWA can ask for the "reason" to pre-board it's stated right here on the DOT web site Pre-Boarding Notice Final:

"In the revised final rule published on May 13, 2008, the Department expanded the preboarding requirement to cover not only people who need a specific seat assignment or who need to stow their personal folding wheelchairs, but also to cover passengers that “need additional time or assistance to board, stow accessibility equipment, or be seated.” For a passenger to be entitled to preboarding, that passenger must self-identify at the gate as being a person with a disability that needs to preboard for one of the above-listed reasons."
Southwest can ask for the reason- then they need to shut up and if the potential pre-boarder cannot articulate one of the "above listed reasons", Then Get back in Line.
