Airplanes have the equivalent of a license plate painted on the side.
What's different is the broadcast in-the-clear of your information of where you are at all times; not many cars have that feature.
For airplanes, this is the equivalent of broadcasting "Hey, so-and-so is away from home in his airplane; and here's their home address, you are probably safe to go to their house and burgle it."
Unless the aircraft owner has a Delaware corporation for it, of course.
- mrgoldenbrown 3y agoI'm guessing Taylor's home(s) have someone keeping an eye on them even when she's away, so that doesn't seem relevant. It would also apply to anyone with a private jet like hers.
- satiated_grue 3y agoBut this is true for lots of planes, not just private jets. Like, the local baker in Chicago who flies up to Racine in the morning to pick up kringles for an event he's catering that afternoon. "Regular" folks in their "regular" vehicles, as opposed to chauffeur-driven luxury vehicles owned or used by the wealthy.
