"Surveillance-minded" (hereafter, "Helicopter") parents were almost certainly already doing that.

It just required a sharp knife and a tube of contact adhesive previously.

I was under the impression this is the main selling point of AirTags. Is there a real market for tracking lost luggage? I see AirTags being sold in every Kid’s store around here.

My dog has one on her collar. She got lost once, after chasing a squirrel, so it was a no brainer. The cool thing is that you can make it go off, by pressing a button, and train the dog to come to you when it chirps. I hope I never need to use it in an emergency, but it's good to know I'm prepared.
