Oh, poor Billionaire that can afford 24 hr private security! /s

I don’t care. She has other options, anyway. She can’t have her cake and eat it, too.

Yes she can, she can also afford a private jet to fly her around. Not sure what your point is.

Private security ain't gonna do much in a sealed tube 10k feet in the air.

She has other options, anyway.

Such as?

Choices have consequences. She chooses a private jet that will have an ADS-B transponder that will thus be linked to her travel. That’s just how it works.

And you are complaining she faces violence threats. My point is, she can easily mitigate them.

Private security ain't gonna do much in a sealed tube 10k feet in the air.

Stalkers aren’t going to do mush there, either. What danger do you think she faces in the air?

Such as?

Fly commercial. Much harder to find when you could be on any of dozens of flights. Also, she could charter different jets. People might still find her from flight plans, but it would be much harder.

That’s just how it works.

We all know how it works. I'm suggesting maybe the way it works should change to improve safety.

And you are complaining she faces violence threats.

I've "complained" about nothing. You're imagining things.

My point is, she can easily mitigate them.

Would you care to make a suggestion?

Stalkers aren’t going to do mush there, either. What danger do you think she faces in the air?

I literally just explained that in the comment you just replied to. Verbal and physical assault and harassment while in a sealed tube tens of thousands of feet in the air.

If you're just gonna go on and on while ignoring that little fact then there's no need to carry on this discussion.

I do not believe the current system is unsafe. This is 100% her not liking the articles about her massive carbon emissions. If anything, we should further expose these megapolluters.

I've "complained" about nothing. You're imagining things.

Oh, going off a semantics! Whatever. You certainly are stating it.

Would you care to make a suggestion?

I did. You ignored it. What do you think paid security is?

I literally just explained that in the comment you just replied to. Verbal and physical assault and harassment while in a sealed tube tens of thousands of feet in the air.

How on earth are people verbally or physically assaulting her on her private jet? It is literally only her and her entourage on board. How does being able to track her flight lead to someone able to assault her on board? You make no sense

Hell, even flying commercial, they will land the plane and place the offender under arrest. They will restrain you in the meantime. They carry zip tie handcuffs and tape to secure disruptive individuals. Celebrities fly commercial all the time. Aside from maybe stares or people asking for selfies, they are perfectly safe. But that is part of the deal of being a celebrity. She is well compensated for it.

And I am ignoring nothing. I just wholeheartedly disagree with you an every point you have made.

I said that clearly in reply to your assertion about flying commercial.

Hell, even flying commercial, they will land the plane and place the offender under arrest.

I mean that'll be wonderful like, 12 hours later.

They carry zip tie handcuffs and tape to secure disruptive individuals.

Who? The flight attendants? This is their job now?

Swift just walking into a public airport would cause an immediate security nightmare.

But that is part of the deal of being a celebrity. She is well compensated for it.

Great, so basically "she deserves it" is your response?
