Pretty sure the most likely scenario in the short term is "rising tensions due to climate change, until someone snaps and pushes the big button". Or maybe Putin does it on his deathbed as a big ol' gently caress you.

So Ol' Musky has the tracklogs for his private jet hidden on FlightAware and the like. Turns out that a bunch of Airplane Nerds put together a network of receivers that aggregate the ADS-B transmissions from airplanes, and their take is 'the data is broadcast, unencrypted in the open so we're not going to participate in something stupid when it doesn't do anything to actually improve security' so here's where you watch to see when he heads up to Burning Man for the weekend

It's a bigger safety concern that private sport pilots can know where other planes are including private corporate jets and carrier jets in relation to them in uncontrolled airspace than the fact that airplane nerds can log where elon munsk is

There is no right to privacy. Everyone is supposed to know where other planes are at all times, it prevents crashes

ADS-B is cool and good. Everyone's freaking out because some people won't get their new radios installed in time for the cutoff date, so now there's people making beacons that replace your taillight because that requires less installation cost.
