    So you can still track them, because all flight plans are public and need to be for safety reasons, but they no longer have to tell you who owns what tail number.

    I feel like that has a little bit to do with how journalists tracked down a bunch of FBI shell companies that operated spy planes over BLM(and other) protests.
