AirTag expansion card holder (alien.top)

Just had a random thought, can someone make an AirTag expansion card holder?

Doesn’t need any programming, thinking it could just hold the AirTag and slot in one of the expansion card bays.

What do you think?

From what I've read, AirTags don't use GPS, all they do is connect to other Apple devices via Bluetooth, and those devices send their location (which is fairly accurate) and the AirTag's ID (which is encrypted) to Apple servers.

This means AirTags are useless if there are no Apple devices around.
