Absolutely air traffic in the sky should be identified. There is no problem with that, but it's the idea that it is too easy to find out everything about an aircraft owner by simply seeing the number on their tail.

The rich guys obfuscate that info with shell corps to own the aircraft.

Shouldn't everyone have the right to the same level of privacy regardless of how much money they have?

Maybe the rich guys shouldn't be able to it instead and thats what should change?
