The downside, as you said, is at least 10 people or more on every flight I have been on have been denied in SEA for lack of proper docs and we had to wait for their bags to be pulled. I have never yet had any docs checked at my origin US airport.
You weren't asked for any documents when checking in bags at whatever US airport flying from? If so this is different from travel to every other country.
