How so?

It seems to be designed around the assumption that everyone has a moving-map
GPS to show the boundaries of the various sectors. Anyone who doesn't have
this is going to have a devil of a time figuring out whether or not he's
drifting into Class B. Since GA aircraft often don't have a moving-map GPS,
they are being strongly encouraged to stay away by the difficulty inherent in
finding the sector boundaries using just navaids, radials, landmarks, etc.

Oh, if only there were some way to present that information in a way
that didn't need electronics. Perhaps some kind of large piece of paper
that contained both a visual depiction of the airspace *and* landmarks
on the ground.
