In yesterday's class discussion of AirTags, Tiles, and similar trackers, a student spoke out strongly *against* demands that such devices not be sold (e.g., https://www.stopspying.org/latest-news/2022/1/26/stop-demands-apple-halt-sale-of-airtags).
That same student emailed me in the wee hours this morning to say that they had completely changed their mind. They appended this screen shot (which I include here with their permission).
Update: 12 hours later, the student still hasn't been able to find the AirTag.
