Can somebody please help me parse the last sentence in the "Privacy" paragraph here? I'm honestly confused by the "or location of any device that helped find it". All I want to know is if a LEA could subpoena Apple for the location of any/all of my AirTags, and I can't tell if this is talking about the tags themselves or about the device that initiates a Find action for a Tag:
"AirTag is designed from the ground up to keep location data private and secure. No location data or location history is physically stored inside AirTag. Communication with the Find My network is end-to-end encrypted so that only the owner of a device has access to its location data, and no one, including Apple, knows the identity or location of any device that helped find it. "

- theshrike79 6y agoHard to subpoena something that doesn't exist.

Page 139 onwards is the FindMy network security stuff. Apple actively doesn't want to know where your shit is. This is similar to the COVID tracking stuff Google and Apple are running.
