What's an "air tag"?

I didn't preform as expected this past weekend so I gotta make a mid week visit to @Texas Robin tomorrow night, to keep her happy. I'm looking forward to it.
This rebuilding this shed is kicking my a$$, I'm too old for this $hit.

So, I'm asking should I unplug her Alexia's and disconnect her video cameras?
Is that considered Kosher?

It lets you track whatever it is you put it in--good for most anything from pets to kids backpacks, to, as it turns out, trucks. In this case, he supposedly left one in the truck and found it after it had been stolen, then dealt with the thief.

I thought range was limited by Bluetooth.

Apple claims with an iPhone the range of the tag is about 800 ft. (bluetooth range max). That would get someone within a block or two a ping, though, and driving around looking for that signal would do it. I don't doubt that the owner put in a little legwork and likely had some suspicions about where it had gone.

They relay through the nearest phone. Phones are everywhere...

Thanks!

I had never heard of such a thing.
