This is going to have the opposite of their intended effect. People are now going to be more interested than ever in AirTags precisely for luggages thanks to them.

Bingo! It hadn't occurred to me until just now, but you bet your butt there'll be an Airtag, a Trackr, and a Tile in my luggage next time.

  Trackr has been gone since 2021.

    Not that they were ever to useful in the first place, sadly.

    Can't you track them down?

  It’s honestly so nice! I land, and before I check my texts I check for my bags. They have almost always already been reported to the find my network and I have peace of mind. Even at the baggage carousels. I just activate “Find” and it tells me if my bag is “near by” and rarely it’ll even give me the arrow pointing at my luggage. I didn’t even realize that I was previously micro-stressing about this stuff. But I can definitely tell the change I’ve had in mental state with an AirTag in my luggage.

    And with that, I’ve ordered AirTags for my luggage. Thank you kind stranger!

    It's seriously such an underrated technology. The fact that there are billions of devices spread out all over the world that can suddenly spring into action to precisely locate my item any time is so crazy to think about. All for a $29 one-time purchase. And I get the sense most people don't even know this exists.

    Agree! When AirTags were announced I immediately bought 4 just for luggage tracking. The first trip I used them on our bags were lost. As we took off from Boston, I could see our bags were still on the other side of the airport. Since I already knew the bags were lost when we landed, we could go right to the baggage person. I was able to tell the person right where they were which sped the process up. Then, when they were finally delivered, the AirTags saved a bunch of time/stress knowing when/where to meet the delivery.

This is called the Streisand Effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

Given the top comment I'm not sure this had an intended effect. They were asked a question and quoted the relevant ICAO rules. What were you expecting them to do? Urge their customers to break the law?
