Pre-takeoff checklist
So you can land in the GA part of SEA. If you were a terrorist, how would you get over to the 121 side?
Having flown into BWI and MDW in a 172, plus a number of other C and B air spaces in a larger plane, almost every airport has the GA aircraft parked on the other side of the airport. Across the runway, or at least around the corner, if there are multiple runways. NOt every airport is that way, but simply by having the distance for separation makes it much harder for someone to get in via the GA side, and then sneak over to the 121 side.
Not saying that its impossible either, but the whole idea of security is to make it not worth someone's effort to get in someplace, is it not? (100% security is impossible.)
