    How long the airtag has to follow you until you get the alert? If it’s long enough (e.g. a few hours), it still allows a stalker to slip one in your bag and find where you live.

      Not long at all.

      I had a friend accept the shipment of my vehicle when I shipped it across the country. I couldn’t get there fast enough to accept it myself. I placed an AirTag in the glove box so I could keep track of its progress.

      The first time he drove the truck he calls me up saying his iPhone is saying there’s an AirTag traveling with him which is making noise and (jokingly) tells me he swears he’s not stealing the truck.
