The issue is that anybody can access the database. With those only the police can access. With a mortgage, only banks, and other business can access. Property Tax depends on the local but generally that is restricted as well. With the FAA database, anybody can access at any time for free. Maybe not info for now, but I bet that information gets a lot deeper in the future. I will not register.
