Comment on Redditor advises people in DC hide Air Tags in their clothes to help family identify them if they go missing.

  Depends on how far in the body. Bluetooth works off of 2.4Ghz spectrum so water will limit its transmission ability.

  Surface is probably fine but inside a prison pocket will probably be troublesome.

  Very likely with some reduced range. You can test by clamping a BT device in your armpit. It would be pretty risky to swallow an air tag though.

    You mean you wouldn’t want a lithium ion battery floating in acid inside you? Where’s your sense of scientific exploration?

      I'm honestly more worried about choking. Anything larger than about 2cm is getting into high risk territory.

  Only one way to find out.

    If lovense/wevibe toys are any indication, no, a Bluetooth tracker inside you definitely wouldn’t work.
