In fairness people can already see where you're going at an airport. Almost everyone sits at the gate for their flight if they're not waiting in a lounge. And it's not points but frequent flyer status. Minor distinction sure.

>frequent flyer status

Which they also already more or less see (modulo credit cards and other ways you can board early).

Exactly. This isn't privacy preserving but it's also opt-in and shows stuff that's already fairly obvious to people at the airport.
