  Build your own 'AirTags' 🏷 today! Framework for tracking personal Bluetooth devices via Apple's massive Find My network.

  

There's some info about Apple's network here:

Seems like in theory you could do that, though there are definitely heuristics you could apply to detect those tags, depending on how stealthy they are being.

Also on the servers side Apple could just limit you to a reasonable number of tags.

  A stealth AirTag clone that bypasses all of Apple's tracking protection features

  

This is such a charade. Making "invisible" airtags is trivial [1], and I wouldn't be surprised if such airtags are being manufactured en-masse.

We allowed the creation of a global tracking network under the false pretense of privacy. The entire Find My security model falls apart when considering "malicious" tags, and Apple knew about this from the start.
