There are about a dozen airports around the country that have this problem. If memory serves me right ... DTW / SNA / PHL / LAS are on the list. ATL was on the list but the FAA did something crazy to fix the airspace when the new runway opened last year. CLT will be on the list when their new runway opens. I don't know where the plans are to correct their class B.
Changing a class B airspace is a very long process. You have to get through all of the environmental impact regulations then you have to go up against AOPA. These guys fight like wet cats to keep restrictive airspace like a class B from growing.
As several of you mentioned, you gotta stay sharp with the 10-1 charts to keep from getting violated by some disgruntled FAA guy.
