What do you know, more unanticipated consequences from tech.
They try to hold gun manufacturers accountable, how about tech companies too?

Maybe Apple can now sell a tag detector to see if one is transmitting nearby.

The iphone will detect them

Another “mention Apple, get clicks” headline.
A very few cases of perps using tracker tags to follow desired products to a location easier to pilfer.
Good chance the owners ignored their iPhones informing them “someone else’s AirTag is moving with you”.

Yes. I’m making a good living off it. Significant improvement in society, albeit a few new ways to abuse it (vs, say, highwaymen simply offing anyone coming by and taking their cash).

But I believe with those you have to explicitly grant permission.
A person could put these on your car and track you without even you being aware of it.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to manufacture AirTag locators or jammers.
