Thought about creating a predictive trading algorithm based on public TSA passenger flow data to gain an edge in prediction markets. Honestly though, once you start connecting real-world datasets to financial positions, the compliance questions pile up fast. The closer you dig, the murkier the legal waters get—definitely feels like a one-way ticket to someone's radar. Still, it shows how creative traders are hunting for novel signals in unconventional data streams.

Haha, that's why most people ultimately stick to standard data...

This idea sounds quite ambitious, but when it comes to compliance... it's a definite minefield.
Data arbitrage always seems simple, but in practice it's a nightmare, and the SEC is watching.

Hmm... that's why the smartest traders either end up in prison or in hedge funds.

Haha, this is a classic case of "great idea, risky operation." The compliance pitfalls are always deeper than expected.

I think this guy is overthinking it. TSA data is just that, if someone really wanted to act, they would have done it already. The key is how to prevent the SEC from targeting it—that's the real skill.

Ha, is that why most people ultimately choose to pay their taxes willingly, really?

Hmm, this idea is indeed brilliant, but crossing the legal line is really too easy, haha.
