> Flight information is public information. It needs to be. It’s not optional

Similarly the location of your mobile phone is public information, for technical reasons it has to be. Just like aircraft, your phone constantly broadcasts identifying information for all the world to hear. Additionally, just about anyone anywhere in the world can query the phone network for information about which cell tower your phone is connected to.

I suspect many would not be very happy if there was a twitter account tracking the location of their cell phone.

I don’t like my medical information being tracked, but I still have medical records.

I don’t like my driving history being tracked, but I still have insurance and a license.

It’s sucks but a lot of information we might want to not exist… exists. And I have no special place in mg heart that we should make an exception because someone is very wealthy.
