I endorse your sentiments wholeheartedly ILS 119.5 but your viewpoint runs parallel to this thread rather than in the same vein. Jericho has provided a link to an example where such uninformed scaremongering ‘taints’ plane conversation (pun intended). You will always get this so long as people listen to ATC frequencies and then vent their fears in a debating forum designed for the purpose of informed conversation.*
*dependant on how informed you/others, consider you are

My original thread is more so aimed at why ‘not providing a live’ online ATC / PASSUR feed is ‘any safer’ than providing ‘one at all’, (which is lagged by a published fixed timeframe) which is the case in America to date.
Example A (current circumstances)
If we measured the info available to spotters today ‘without a live internet feed’ as a % rating then it currently stands at about 80% (scanners / airline timetables / RT basics …etc ensure that a spotter can be pretty sure when an a/c is about to land or depart)
But….
If we measured the info available to spotters (in example A) AND INCLUDE a ‘live online feed’, then as a % rating - the amount of sensitive information would increase by only a small factor relative to all the data that is ALREADY broadcast and widely available……
