Yes, but my point is that if they agree car keys are banned then AirTags are banned.

If they say car keys are fine then they have no standing for banning AirTags.

And yes, I agree that checking one’s car keys is silly.

I think it’s a stupid decision by Lufthansa, but to be fair, these keys will only transmit when prompted by a radio signal from a specific car, whereas an AirTag will transmit when prompted by any iPhone. There are, surprisingly, more iPhones inside the typical airplane than cars.
