If travelling on Metro or SoundTransit, they are dropping off and picking up outside the airport grounds on International Drive. A shuttle bus then runs you in and out, or you can walk to the terminal (faster).

As for the amber alert it is named after a girl who was kidnapped and klled, and not a killer

Code orange is not so bad, but code red could be a nightmare:

Code red would severely restrict the ability to travel relatively efficiently:
"...a ban on parking within 300 feet of an airport terminal, search of every vehicle proceeding to a terminal and the elimination of cargo on all passenger flights. Passengers may be required to check in at least three hours before a flight and shouldn't be allowed to carry laptop computers..."</font>

The quote is not from somebody stating the rules, just what he thinks it should be, so laptops may still be OK.
Even if not, FedEx makes a great laotop shipping box.....

Oh, great, so I'm going to trust the baggage gorillas (think old Samsonite commercial) with my $3,000 notebook computer? I-don't-think-so! On some trips I carry two laptops, along with some very expensive acoustical test gear. Such extreme measures will hardly be tolerated by the flying public. Not that many people own Panasonic toughbooks!
