Comment on Elon Musk and Taylor Swift can now hide details of their private jets/// Private aircraft owners can now ask the FAA to keep their registration information out of the public eye.

  It is different because you typically need to know the municipality I live in first.

  Also the registration allows anyone to track me anytime I fly.

  How would you feel if you had a public gps transponder on your car publicly showing who you, where you are, and where you live? Also what if you are required to plaster that registration number on the side of your vehicle in large letters that can be seen from a block away?

  It’s a massive invasion of personal privacy.

    Buy a new car, you won’t be far from that.

      The new car is worse. They will sell your info to the highest bidder.

        And to every other bidder, too, of course.

  I was looking up bike lanes in a city I was thinking of buying a house in and the map had property lines on it, with the registered owners names plastered in every space.

  Not really. But the FAA could use some improvement on privacy issues.
