AirTag anti-stalking feature prevents theft of Dodge Charger
Well, now one big purpose of an air tag is defeated. While the anti-stalking features seem necessary, a user now cannot protect items from theft anymore efficiently. If I put an air tag in my car to try finding it if someone stole my car, the thief will now also conveniently get a warning from Apple that they are traveling with an unknown Airtag (in the stolen car).And with the other new stipuations that Apple added, you cannot leave your own Airtag unattended for too long as it might start beeping after 8+hours... see here: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/apple-airtag-showing-up-crimes-rcna9416So what is left is basically the function to locate lost items in proximity.Technology is blind to the intention of "security", can be legit or nefarious reasons.
