♦️ AirTag在找回被盗行李中的关键作用：文章详细描述了一位乘客Daniel Scott如何利用AirTag追踪被盗的行李，并成功配合警方找回大部分失物。当Scott的行李在洛杉矶机场被盗后，他通过手机上的AirTag定位信息，发现行李正在移动，并立即采取行动追寻。这一经历强调了AirTag在失窃情况下提供追踪能力的重要性，为失主提供了“找回行李的战斗机会”。

♦️ AirTag的多样化应用与潜在风险：除了找回失物，AirTag已被证明在追踪被盗汽车（如伦敦一案例）和高价值工具（如自行设置诱捕行动的案例）方面也发挥了作用，显示了其广泛的实用性。然而，文章也触及了AirTag的“阴暗面”，即可能被用作跟踪工具，因其易于被偷偷放置在他人包或口袋中。

♦️ 苹果公司应对AirTag滥用的措施与行业合作：为解决AirTag被滥用的问题，苹果公司已联合Google及其他蓝牙追踪器制造商，推出了“未知追踪器通知”功能，旨在提醒用户身边是否有未知的AirTag在移动。此外，为了提升客户服务，越来越多的航空公司开始允许乘客提交AirTag数据，以更快速地追踪和归还丢失的行李，显示了行业间的合作与技术整合趋势。

Here's another reminder that AirTags can do a lot more than help you find your keys. They can also help recover stolen luggage.

A man returning to his Los Angeles home from Salt Lake City in August used an Apple AirTag stored inside his suitcase to track it down after it was stolen from baggage claim, according to NBC Los Angeles. After searching multiple carousels, Daniel Scott checked his phone to try and locate his luggage with the AirTag inside and saw it moving away from the airport.

Scott said he sprinted to the rideshare lot and grabbed an Uber to follow the moving AirTag, according to the report. Meanwhile, his partner called LAX police and they traced the AirTag to an abandoned building nearby. When the police showed up and lined up several people who were in the abandoned building, Scott noticed one of them wearing his clothes, Scott told NBC. Police detained several people and Scott was able to get most of his clothes back, although they were scattered throughout the building and his suitcase had been destroyed.

Scott urged others to travel with the device if they can. "It just gave me a fighting chance to find my luggage and retrieve it," he told the outlet.

Apple AirTags were launched in 2021 as a coin-sized GPS gadget that could attach as a keychain or inside your wallet to help the forgetful relocate their stuff. But since then, AirTags have been used for a lot more than finding absentmindedly placed valuables. A London coupled successfully used an AirTag to track down their stolen Jaguar, and a man set up his own sting operation by attaching AirTags to power tools to uncover millions of dollars worth of stolen tools.

There's also a dark side to the convenient GPS-tracker. AirTags have been used as a stalking tool since they can easily be slipped into a bag or pocket. Apple teamed up with Google and other makers of Bluetooth trackers to send a push notification alerting users that there's an AirTag moving with them.

Airlines have used the increase in passengers using AirTags to improve their customer service offerings. Since last year, more than a dozen airlines have started allowing flyers to submit their AirTag data to track missing luggage in hopes of reuniting it with their owners quicker.
