Wow there's an obscure piece of history. The airport was named after Jackson in 1983. Tacoma felt insulted by having their name taken off the airport (they provided a significant chunk of change to help build the airport initially) and the citizens of both cities preferred the old name by a margin of 5 to 1. The port restored the Sea-Tac name in 1984.Its been a few years since I regularly used Sea-Tac ( whatever happened to using "Scoop" Jackson as the Airpirts namesake?).
I wonder if spending this much on a Hi-Tech Baggage System is a prudent use of scarce Govt. transportation funds? ( remember the mess @ the new Denver Airport when it opened?)
Including the TSA makes it an abomination!
