LH Bans Apple AirTags..

One of Europe’s largest airlines is saying auf wiedersehen to Apple AirTags on checked luggage.
Lufthansa, Germany’s main airline, tweeted Saturday that the company is banning “activated AirTags” from luggage because the devices “are classified as dangerous and need to be turned off” during flights.
Apple’s AirTags are a quarter-sized Bluetooth tracker that can be used to track personal items, such as car keys or bags, using an iPhone’s “Find My” app. Travelers have begun to attach the tracking devices to their luggage to track where their bags are, in the event an airline loses it.


A spokesperson for Lufthansa told the German news outlet Watson that travelers would need to remove the battery from AirTags — therefore making them unable to be tracked — if the device was attached to checked luggage.
“Baggage trackers belong to the category of portable electronic devices and are therefore subject to the dangerous goods regulations for carriage in airplanes issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization,” the spokesperson said.
In a tweet Sunday, Lufthansa explained that due to the AirTags’ Bluetooth transmission function, the trackers must be deactivated during flight if they are placed in checked luggage.
