Why Jet Owners Don't Want to Be Tracked.   WSJ, April 18, 2013.

Big companies and wealthy individuals normally don't discuss the threats they receive, preferring to keep their security concerns private.

But hundreds of companies and prominent citizens have sent just such information to the federal government, some detailing their biggest security worries. The reported dangers range from chilling to seemingly trivial: al Qaeda terrorists; animal-rights extremists; deranged stalkers; depressed gamblers; gas-price malcontents and aggressive autograph-seekers.

The threat information was contained in letters sent in 2011 to the Federal Aviation Administration but not made public until now. The letter-writers were stirred to action by a since-shelved FAA plan to allow the public to have greater real-time access to the flight paths of private aircraft.

Yeah, physical danger - sure.
