I was with a group of friends the other night and the conversation turned to lost luggage. Someone’s bag didn’t make it to the correct airport and they had no idea where it was. Someone asked if they’d put an Apple AirTag in the bag and the reply was “I’ve never thought of that.”

When your luggage goes missing, it’s bad enough. Tackling the start of your vacation without your clothes or toiletries? It’s not something most of us want to do. But when your luggage itself is the reason, you’re traveling in the first place, it gets considerably worse.

Apple AirTags are convenient to track lost times like luggage, a wallet or your purse, but they can also be used to track people.
