Probably no more than you'd be in if they pulled your data plate out of the wreckage and came knocking on your door. You can bet they'd press pretty hard too see if you'd change your story about the plane being stolen. > I don't >have any real problem with the government knowing it's my plane that's >crossing it's airspace.

Then again, if you went flying and old Consuelo Continental gave up the ghost over the Appalachians, you might be mighty glad of that little track that showed where you'd been and where you weren't any more.
