Because some of the terminals don't have waiting areas past security they will only start clearing passengers as the boarding process begins. On a full flight from PSG (as they often are), it can take some time to clear security. Not the hour or so it can take sometimes in larger airports with maze like security lines but a wait none the less.
Snack bar? So not only can you get off the plane in KTN but you can grab a snack before you jump back on the plane...since SEA-KTN is too short for the fresh food buy on board options, you might actually be hungry
