I love AirTags, and Tiles, and other trackers: in fact, I've just added another three this morning. I use them for peace of mind when I'm taking guitar kit to gigs and can't be there all the time to keep an eye on it; I use them to make sure I don't forget to take my keys with me; and I use them to prevent lost-bag panic when I'm on a night out. They've helped reunite people with lost luggage, and New York police even recommend you use them to track your car in the event somebody nicks it.
Any technology can be abused, however, and small, easy-to-hide trackers have pretty obvious potential for abuse. That's why Google and Apple are teaming up to ensure that trackers are only tracking you with your express permission.
