We're STILL waiting for Jeffery Epstein's official list of clients, but we do know a lot of the names on it thanks to the FAA registry that publicly disclosed his flight path and his registered passengers who visited his underage bordello on Little St. James.

In recent years, that same registry has been used to track the private flights and jet fuel usage of famous people like Elon Musk, John Kerry, and Taylor Swift, much to their chagrin.

However, our legislators and president have heard the cries of the elite and moved to make the world a better place by, you guessed it, securing the registry from the prying eyes of the public.

The U.S. Senate passed the $150 billion FAA Reauthorization to Improve Air Safety & Service Act (as usual it does the opposite of the name) on May 9 in a 88-4 vote.

It was approved 387-26 May 15 by the U.S. House of Representatives, and President Joe Biden signed it on May 16.

In addition to spending enough money to buy thousands of Epstein islands, the law in part reads,

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 552(b)(3) of title 5, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall establish and update as necessary a process by which, upon request of a private aircraft owner or operator, the Administrator withholds the registration number and other similar identifiable data or information, except for physical markings required by law, of the aircraft of the owner or operator from any broad dissemination or display (except in furnished data or information made available to or from a Government agency pursuant to a government contract, subcontract, or agreement, including for traffic management purposes) for the noncommercial flights of the owner or operator.

For those jets whose markings are well known in the public sphere like Musk's and Swift's, there's a provision that they can apply for new markings from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) code for the aircraft (aka a new transponder code) to throw the hounds off the trail as it were.

Jack Sweeney, one of those hounds, rose to fame as a teen for tracking and publishing the flight plans of the elite. He was rather blatantly kicked off of X, when Elon Musk bought the social network, for publishing the billionaire's private flight plans.

To Elon's credit, his commitment to free speech was honored when he brought Sweeney back on the platform.

However, Elon's gesture hasn't stopped Sweeney from tracking private jet usage, and he says the new law won't either. 👇

When searching for an aircraft owned by someone notable, most people don't search the entire FAA aircraft registry. We use the media and associated sources, so hiding the ownership details will not fix this privacy issue.

A lot of his tracking is done via confederates around the world looking for celebrity appearances. The ICAO codes are secondary at best.

But even then, the new ICAO codes will not be that hard to figure out, and they have to match the visible codes on the plane.

Let's talk about a what-if scenario so let's assume, someone is approved for a new ICAO code and associated N-Number. The person also requests that for this new N-Number their personal details are hidden from public by FAA. But the aircraft, when turned off before the new N-Number and ICAO code was applied, was still broadcasting its exact GPS location thanks to ADS-B. The aircraft's new N-Number and ICAO code are installed. The aircraft powers up with its new ICAO code, but in the exact same coordinates that it previously powers off in revealing it is the same aircraft.

Essentially, he's asking "How do you hide a celebrity that everyone in the world knows?"

The only thing the new law is going to do is make it easier for criminals to hide from authorities.

(Remember how I said the "Improve Air Safety" bill follows the usual formula of doing the opposite of its name?)

According to Sweeney,

I've become aware that law enforcement agencies have failed to identify aircraft registration before because of blocking techniques previously put in place. One such event occurred because a plane used PIA to hide its identity. The agency was not even aware of what PIA was. No good tool exists for law enforcement agencies that allows them to see this associated jet tracking data and ownership data while these privacy programs are implemented. These privacy programs being incorporated for private aviation are being implemented in a way that is reducing law enforcement's efficiency in identifying bad actors.

People like Jeffrey Epstein, who no one really knew existed until his escapades dealing underage girls to the rich and powerful were uncovered, will be the real winners here.

You really would hope to think that our government didn't just slip through a law that would aid and abet criminals avoiding discovery, but considering a former president and a prince of England were Epstein regulars, I can't say I'd be surprised.
