A new report says that the DEA used an AirTag for surveillance in anti-drug operations last year, in what is believed to be the first instance of a federal agency using the tracker in such a manner.
According to Forbes, border agents intercepted two packages from Shanghai, China, in May of 2022, which were found to contain a pill press that is used to turn powders into tablets. "Believing that they were destined for an illegal narcotics manufacturer", the DEA stepped in, and rather than swipe the goods, instead placed an AirTag inside the device so they could track its whereabouts.
