Well it's not full on "illegal". You can buy a radarbox for like £300 and you can track aircraft from your location up to 300 NM which are sold in the UK.

The information provided won't harm anyone so I can't see why it would be illegal.
But then terror threats - guess they don't see it as a threat.

Wouldn't be surprised if terrorists had that website as their homepage.

LOL! But the thing is there isn't any restricted information on it.

Terrorists don't really have the capability to take planes out from the sky - there isn't much of a risk? :P
