AirTags are broadcasting on Bluetooth a ton. It’d be easy to figure out if a bag had one.

How easy? What type of Bluetooth detectors?

$10 of hardware. Pretty much anything that does Bluetooth LE. I could see them with a simple ESPHome script. You can’t identify specific ones of course, but you can know a AirTag is there.
