Literally a few days after Tim Apple gifts Trump a golden sculpture?

Gotta use those corpo-hatched tracking devices for The People somehow, right? 😅😶

Hide under skin or in orifices

Shove it right up in there or it ain’t private

I’m curious if a BLE tracker could work from inside a body.

Depends on how far in the body. Bluetooth works off of 2.4Ghz spectrum so water will limit its transmission ability.

Surface is probably fine but inside a prison pocket will probably be troublesome.

Very likely with some reduced range. You can test by clamping a BT device in your armpit. It would be pretty risky to swallow an air tag though.

You mean you wouldn’t want a lithium ion battery floating in acid inside you? Where’s your sense of scientific exploration?

I'm honestly more worried about choking. Anything larger than about 2cm is getting into high risk territory.

If lovense/wevibe toys are any indication, no, a Bluetooth tracker inside you definitely wouldn't work.

Now the abductors know where to look. :(
