People bust into Sea-Tac airspace all the time. I know of another pilot,

an
airline captain, who recently busted into the airspace and a United jet on
short final had to take evasive action. This pilot actually flew across
Sea-Tac itself and cut in front of the United jet. However, the airspace
violation was inadvertent and partially due to confusion; he had filed an
IFR flight plan but had not received a clearance yet. Apparently ATC

could
not find his flight plan. He was still trying to pick up his clearance in
the air when he flew across the class B. The FAA gave him a warning

letter.

You may also receive a warning letter, but that will probably be the end

of
it. Just be careful in the future.

If you ever bust airspace again (and the odds are you probably will --

most
pilots have violated one airspace or another but they don't talk about it)
be sure to keep your cool. Don't panic, fly the airplane, talk to the
controlling agency ASAP if you can, and take the shortest way out or

follow
ATC directions.
