It amazes me how plain idiotic people can be a out the information they hand out.
Tldr: fuck executives
I have insomnia and Recently I was rudely awoken at around 2am by a VERY loud jet engine.
Now my county does have an airport, but it's nowhere near me, and it's for small aircraft only. There's a military base that uses a huge section of the state for training, but that's almost exclusively in the daylight, or for a few hours after it gets dark, and they never get this close.
Well, I pulled up flightradar, and sure enough a small personal jet took offa out 10 minutes ago, and while their flight plan should have had them mucb higher, they were veryclose to the ground. I called the sheriff non emergency line to complain, since it was 2 IN THE FUCKING MORNING and apparently they had already recieved a number of calls from people between me and the airport.
Then I looked up the company that owns the jet. It's a smallish company that does aero things, and pulls in tons of money every year. Public, private, and military contracting from what I understood, supplying parts or something like that.
Their board of directors is listed on their website along with corporate HQ. Their board of directors also ALL use LinkedIn, with their work addresses, emails, PERSONAL email addresses for quite a few, and one even had some personal mail visible to anyone who stops by their profile picture. Almost all had other social media connected. LinkedIn was also helpful in identifying who was probably flying the jet, too, since he really likes talking about his pilot license.
Social media confirms a few were active within the last hour, and in my state.
With this info, the flight plan, the LinkedIn info, and a little guesswork, I was able to narrow down the occupants of the jet to 5 people, BCCd all their work and personal emails, as well as the general company email, with a 5 paragraph email about proper etiquette when flying over populated areas, as well as FAA laws they were breaking by flying so low, a rather sleep deprived rant about how they're assholes who think the world should come to a halt for them, letting them know local sheriff department is investigating (lol no the fuck they aren't who cares if a few people got woken up), and that I am reporting their violations to the FAA. And ended it with a request to follow proper altitude guides or flying at a more reasonable hour.
And around 5am I was finally able to sleep for all of one hour.
When I woke up it dawned on me that I had gotten annoyed by a jet, tracked down the occupants, and sent them an angry personal email, found out their home/work addresses, and could do much more damage if I wanted, all without leaving the comfort of my bed.
I immediately started scrubbing all my online profiles... I still probably talk too much about the area I live in.
