      I don't see what they could do with the information either, they'll only see the location of the aircraft.

      You can also see where you are from your airplane today, if it has IFE, overhead TV's and so on.

            The most important piece of information (for potential terrorists) in order to shoot down the passenger aircraft would be the time of arrival at the destination airport.. These are the altitudes which can be easily reached with a Stinger-like missiles. And this kind of information is easily available all around, isn't it? I met a lot of "Polizei" cars in the woods surrounding Frankfurt airport during my spotting sessions so I guess they consider such possibility...
            The only fear for Flightradar24.com is some kind of crazy airline management who wants to hide some facts about their business which can be possibly revealed here. Or some kind of crazy European Union regulations. Sweden is pretty freedom-full country so the risk of silencing Flightradar24.co is rather remote possibility. Hopefully...
