You drive your car around in public with identifying information on it, anyone can derive a record of its public movements if they were inclined. For example by just following you around on public roads and streaming it, like how paparazzi operate legally.

Now you reversed the data collection process, a jet has to transmit this data and this data is public by default. It's a very different situation.

You have to transmit your license plate information visually as you drive, so I don't really see the difference. The fact that some data is public doesn't mean shining a spotlight on specific elements easily is an appropriate thing to do.

This is going nowhere, I'm out.
