The AirTag is sold and then the user registers it with his/her Apple ID. This is a requirement to activate the AirTag.. Once the AirTag has been activated, then it can be used for its unintended purpose and that is to track someone else. If this done, then the AirTag will notify that person stating that an AirTag has been following that person. That notification comes with instructions to not only locate the AirTag but also to deactivate it. The information below is directly from Apple:


AirTag is designed to discourage unwanted tracking. If someone else’s AirTag finds its way into your stuff, your iPhone will notice it’s traveling with you and send you an alert. After a while, if you still haven’t found it, the AirTag will start playing a sound to let you know it’s there.


Of course, if you happen to be with a friend who has an AirTag, or on a train with a whole bunch of people with AirTag, don’t worry. These alerts are triggered only when an AirTag is separated from its owner.
