This government program was specifically designed to hide the link between an aircraft identifier and the owner of the aircraft.
If the link between Elon Musk and the aircraft identifier he flies with was meant to be publicly available, why does this program exist in the first place?
Is it possible that this program is ineffectual, because of publicly-available information from other sources that can be cross-referenced?
If I were to put together a badly implemented privacy program that people can trivially circumvent without breaking the law, who should be blamed when people do exactly that?
Me, or the people doing the trivial yet legal circumvention?
>In most other cases that has been released illegitimately in the first place though
There is plenty of information in public records like people's addresses that are released legitimately. An address is enough information to SWAT someone.
