Even without Putin, some of the people who young Jack is very publicly tracking have reputations for, ah, playing rough. Hopefully all of them will either use Jack as a decoy (by poisoning Jack's data sources), or stay too distracted to bother targeting him.

It seems more attention seeking to me. If they really wanted the world to track the aircraft movements then they could post a list of names, aircraft and tail numbers. That would allow anyone to use FlightRadar24, FlightAware or the myriad of other tracking sites and their API's to track aircraft and would take the focus off the one person tracking them.
