    Looks like someone doesn’t know how transponders work.

    Understandable I guess: It’s not really something most people know anything about, but you’d think someone working for her would’ve been like, “Yeah, no, that’s not really how aviation works, they are public by design” before it got to the point where a legal threat was made.

      They know how it works, but they also know the average person won’t go against a billionaire and the army of lawyers they can afford. It’s a scare tactic.

        Yeah, that seems pretty probable, especially for someone with such a manicured public persona. Still though, they don’t really have a legal leg to stand on no matter how many lawyers they throw at it.
