Dodging ADS-B
I am disappointed that so few people (and aviation magazines) are making a stink about the lack of anonymity and privacy associated with most ADS-B solutions. If there is anyone that believes that the FAA, Customs, Homeland Security and the media wont eventually be using that ADS-B Out data for fees, monitoring, enforcement and speculative reporting, then I have a bridge to sell you in New York City.
There are ADS-B solutions that have an anonymous mode for VFR. A mode-C transponder married to the Garmin GDL88 UAT is one of them. The new Mode S ADS-B transponder solutions are not. I will not buy one of these 1090ES solutions for that reason.
