What do you mean "active tracker"? As far as I know airtags have a battery and aren't passive devices.

  AirTags doesn’t report its location, the iPhone or other iOS devices report nearby AirTags. That’s the difference between an active tracker that has its own cellular connection.

    For aviation regulations there is no different between an active or passive tracker, the rules are not about takers. The rules are about there being a lithium battery in it (there is) and whether it has a radio transmitter (it does, airtags transmit Bluetooth signals). Lithium batteries are not allowed in checked baggage. Transmitters are allowed only if turned off.

      Lithium button batteries of the size you would find in a tracker are allowed in checked baggage. You are correct about transmitters though

    It's not about the data but about the signal as such.
