   I have an Apple AirTag attached to my cargo bike. My android phone keeps warning me that an unknown AirTag is following me. How do I tell it that the AirTag is mine?

   I feel like this is just training me to ignore the warnings.

     @christianp Fortunately most stalkers do not carry an AirTag in their pocket, so there is no harm in ignoring the warnings

     @julesh @christianp The threat model is that the stalker puts an Airtag in your pocket (car/bag/etc), not theirs.
