I've just received a "past due" invoice for the purchase of 250
gallons of Jet A from an FBO a thousand miles away on 20 May. The
invoice includes my name and address and the N-number of my airplane.
The trouble is: I'm not a jet pilot; haven't been to that city in
thirty years; the airplane with that N-number is still a-building in
my garage and it won't burn kerosene when it flies, anyway.


The airplane database is public knowledge. Use a corporation if
you want anonymity.

The pilot database on the other hand is supposedly protected by
the privacy act. However, the FAA has been in substantial violation
of federal law by now letting people FULLY opt out of the thing and
by putting information (medical certification) on there that they
were never authorized to do.

I'm within a few months of starting a federal lawsuit on this one.
