And who, exactly, is going to go to all that trouble just to find out where you live? The authorities have far easier ways of keeping tabs on you. Burglars don't pick their targets based on GPX traces in OSM. Door-to-door salesmen tend to work, well, door-to-door. If you like, you can look at my public traces and work out where I live. It's very easy, since I haven't sanitised them at all. Or you could just look me up in the phone book, which might be a little less taxing. > Frankly this sounds like a disastrous security hole.
