Very interesting, but a hell of a way to dox yourself for being on the flight manifest.

The entities that have access to flight manifests have far easier ways to identify who's behind your account. It's not a threat model worth seriously considering.

Are flight manifests public?

Internal flights in New Zealand don’t need ID. So if you knew you were going to posting your terrible flight experience, you could fly under a fake name.

  • Not public but definitely written down and semi permanent. It’s like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs that could eventually lead to you. In this case, it gives a determined actor a specific course of action to follow (find the manifest).
