If it weren't for Michael and John, I'd agree with you. However, at least for a short period it was quite possible for people from the outside to enter storybrooke. Storybrooke is fortunately far enough out of the way that nobody that isn't looking for it would have a reason to be anywhere near there.

However, I do like the concept of Storybrooke being an extension of FTL into our world. That would clean up a lot of the questions.
