    I’m guessing the owner of a dinky 1971 Cessna most likely doesn’t care if they can be found on an FAA tracker website. Taylor Swift and Elon Musk, on the other hand…

      That Cessna owner also isn’t as likely to be a target of violence from some fanatic (arguably justified or not).

        Cool. Is there one shred of evidence beyond Elon’s spurious claim that has ever happened?

        Because if you are famous enough to worry about that and rich enough to fly around in a private jet and that worries you, hire security.

          What this guy said. No way the richest people on earth are walking around without body guards.

            Taylor Swift has been dealing with stalkers showing up at the airport for years

            Can you show evidence of this? Because all I see when I search for Taylor Swift, airport and stalker are people watching her plane’s location online.

            It also doesn’t make much sense to me. She wouldn’t be walking through the regular airport if she was flying in a private jet.

              The plane has to land at some point. That is done at an airport. Not sure how that’s confusing. Yeah so it’s smaller air field. Not having crazy stalkers track her is a good thing.

              Because she’s rich she isn’t allowed any privacy or safety?

                The confusing part is how these crazy stalkers (still haven’t shown that these people exist) get into the private area of the airport reserved for people who have private jets and chartered flights.

            There hasn’t been a successful attempt in 60 years since JFK, who insisted on terrible security practices (open roof vehicle) and some failings on the secret service. Since then theyve really tightened everything up.

            With proper procedures and a competent team, they’ll be fine.

              They made a shit ton of changes after Reagan got shot and no one has even come close since.

                Except that dude that just walked into the front door of the white house that one time… I’d say that guy got pretty close.

                  If it’s the incident I’m thinking of, the president was not there at the time.
