It may be commonplace but it amounts to search without warrant, nearly.
I think the attitude that you cannot do anything about it is a major piece of the problem.
People don't seem to get that when they sign up for a grocery store club card they are really agreeing to have the store use and maybe sell information on what they buy.   I always refuse them unless they will give me an anonymous one.   If more people asked, it would put more pressure on the system.
...and yes I wait in line instead of having easy-pass and don't go to extra trouble to clean the snow and mud off my license plate.

back to the ADSB issue, if bizjets can keep their data off flight aware shouldn't it be possible to mount a campaign to deny transmission of your transponder id?

I think you will find that many traffic systems now record and identify license plates and possibly can perform facial recognition as does the UK in London, and at soccer matches, for example.  While the transponder is a nice touch, the toll plazas easily track your account if the battery is dead as do the red light cams we have up north.  I think if someone did something bad all those resources would be brought to bear on tracking people or persons but I believe it is all being recorded and stored today.

I don't understand your comment on using a pilot name during an ATC Call.  Do you have a reference?
