Flight safety needs regulation of flight plans for obvious reasons. However, that being said, there is no legitimate reason at all for this information to be made public.
Which means that we should all expect an *illegitimate* reason, as of yet unspecified. That is, *who* would want this information for nefarious reasons? Think the usual suspects, such as political dirty tricks, labor unions, so that the MSM can follow and harass, or the good old fashioned reason that somebody can make money out of the deal that they couldn’t without government provided private information.
The reason is so the TAX MAN can have access to your MILES FLOWN. You don't think they are just planning to tax AUTOS by the mile, do you?
So what is the “legitimate” reason that my house is picutred on google earth and others. And why can I not stop it?
“so that the MSM can follow and harass, or the good old fashioned reason that somebody can make money out of the deal that they couldn’t without government provided private information.”
Which is why, put frankly, that even more hardworking and industrious people are going to be leaving this country. I cannot believe that the US has degenerated into this, I really can’t. It was so perfect, now it’s utterly ruined. Times like this, I realize just why so many businesses are running like mad out of this country and into places like China. The stupid governemnt in this country is quite frankly hypocritical; people rant and rave about how corrupt Eastern governments are, but these days they aren’t sabotaging their small businesses and paying for their underclass to breed like rabbits.
Maybe it will go back to the privacy option for some, then. Penny stinkers (as if one could afford an airplane) need not apply...
