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

Couldn't she already do that?

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:
