In a country filled with heavily armed and angry right wing fanatics who imagine that Swift is part of some crazy conspiracy, making her plane location easily available is a very bad idea. The object of lunatics is to gain influence by spreading fear. Facilitating or promoting docking is promoting evil.

So, no, this entire essay is wrongheaded.

And I say this as a passionate climate advocate who would strongly prefer that nobody have a private jet. In my world, she wouldn’t have a jet because there would be no jet fuel…not because we’ve made it easier for gun wielding lunatics to target famous people.
