Narrative:
Aircraft taxiing eastbound to runway 28 sometimes get issued taxi instructions as simply 'taxi via echo' instead of the full and seemingly proper 'via echo; hotel'; which is the complete taxi route. Failure to miss the turn at hotel will immediately result in an aircraft entering runway 33.because of this potential; I think the air traffic control tower (ATCT) should issue such taxi instructions as 'via echo; hotel'. It would be a very easy mistake for a solo student or non-local pilot to make. Additionally; the area in the vicinity of runways 33; 28; and taxiway echo should be a hot spot because of the possibility of a runway incursion.
