I agree WHOIS is completely useless! Anyone can fake this info anyway and anyone using there real info can be SWATTED (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting)

Only if you use your home address. Most people use a PO Box or other forwarding. (or in the case of a business: physical office presence, which is usually published on the website itself)

Anyone who has my name can find my address, voter registration records are easily searched online in many states. I only bother with WHOIS protections (which Gandi includes at no additional charge) to avoid spam, very few people can claim they are truly safe from swatting.
