Surveillance Shoes For Parents

"Skechers is making kids' shoes with a hidden AirTag compartment"

Skechers introduced a line of kids' sneakers that contain a hidden compartment where parents can slip in an Apple AirTag. 

 Inside the heel of the shoe, a small insert can be lifted to reveal the compartment. Then, parents can track the location of their child -- or, at least their child's shoes. These shoes don't come with an AirTag, and they don't appear to be an actual collaboration with Apple, but rather, a third-party product that Skechers has developed on its own... 

Apple only advertises its AirTags as products to keep track of items like keys, wallets, or luggage -- not human beings. But parents have been using the technology to keep an eye on their kids. Already, there are products like AirTag-compatible bracelets, insoles, pins, or even knock-off Crocs Jibbitz that can fit an AirTag.

I am not a parent, so I am probably not qualified to comment much on the propriety of these uses. I'm sure my readers who are parents have some interesting opinions about this use of technology.
