I realise that every geek in the south of the country will be tracking your every move and the air traffic folk will know who you are if you bust anyone's zone. Any other risks?
What exactly are the risks in this?

Well:

It is worse than having your address visible on your luggage labels. If you are traceable then when you are out flying it is easy to determine, via G-INFO, where your house is and probably unattended, your car is probably parked at your airfield and unattended etc.

A quick look at a friends registration, on gurgle, brought up the days he went flying last month from flightradar24. I guess, without much more effort I could find the tracks of where he went.

It is just too much big brother for my comfort.
