Assuming you can still track jets by their anonymous registration, I wonder how easy it would be to to deanonymize them by finding correlations between where each jet travels VS public appearances in the vacinity of the airports the anonymous registrations are landing at

This is only the FAA registry right? So it's hiding who owns what jets.

This doesn't mean you can't track jets when you know they own it. They still have to broadcast their registration number when flying. So essentially all you have to do is see a celeb on the same reg number a few times and you can basically guarantee that's their jet.

I think.

Not if they're allowed to change it up on a whim.

maybe swifty will just buy a few jets and have them shoot off to places where there could be other concerts going on, or have other bands/celebrities use her jets or something

Taytay location probability score.

Couldn't she already do that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

im sure she could, but people can still track them all, but if the tails are anonymized then its quite a bit harder

You'd just pool together so that nobody knows which jet anyone is in:

We're probably less than ten years away from people modifying off the shelf drones to fly faster and carry homemade explosives in order to take down billionaires private jets. I wouldn't be surprised if the precision of GPS devices available to the public is intentionally rolled back soon as well.

I think civilian access to gps is set up in such a way as to protect against this, but I don't know enough and I'm going off an old online thread from memory. So, I'm pretty much an aeronautics expert.

From my understanding, commercial GPS units have built-in latency issues in the US. This makes it impossible to reliably control position at high velocity. HOWEVER, it is legal to build your own GPS to bypass this. You'd have to be an electrical engineer to design it though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You don't really need explosives to take down the jet, all you need is a drone flying in front of a jet taking off or landing and colliding with it or even getting sucked into the engine. That would spell a really bad day for the rich removed. 😁

Bro this is dark as hell.

Like you really think people finna murder billionaires in the future? Like I support it in a way, but you think we’ll get there?

How fast are planes on take off anyway. Fastest drone is 300mph. Some dude and his dad made one. You can see it YT.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I think some very high profile murders will be attempted soon, they'll have to if they want to murder a billionaire instead of a trillionaire.

It doesn't really matter how fast the plane is if the drone is coming from the opposite direction and goes through the windshield and explodes in the cockpit.

Congress is deadlocked by obstructionist republicans!!!

This is, surprisingly a big disappointment from Biden for me. I think one of the coolest things Biden almost did was "try (tm)*" to bully Sinema and Joe Manchin into complying with a spending bill (or something). When people were bullying them, he goes "that's what security is for, Jack!" Now when it's shitty celebrities suddenly their privacy is important? That sucks!

I'm starting to think that this democracy isn't divorced from the whims of capital

*He didn't try, he was relieved he had someone to blame

All private jets should be chartered directly into Challenger Deep.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Private jets are like private militaries. Nothing good comes from them existing.

I bet you liked that rehearsal at the Titanic site last year.

Another victory for the Swift Empire

Also, this is more evidence to me that TS is a CIA plant or in some way a puppet of the government. She needs her good public image and the state is down to keep it in tact. For what? For eating ze bugs or something, idk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

What is it with Swift. She on 4chan and now works for the CIA 😞
