The AirTag has a Bluetooth beacon. If they have some sort of Bluetooth jamming device it could be possible. However, if they can locate the tag (which should be easy), they can just remove its battery or throw it away.
If your goal is to use an AirTag as an anti-theft device, you are using the wrong thing for this purpose. Instead you should look into something that relies on GPS, not Bluetooth, like the LoJack.

Suppose so, but it would likely be easier for them to just disable the Bluetooth of their iPhones, if the AirTag is not within a around 30meters range of an iPhone with Bluetooth enabled it’s dead in the water
