With the long-awaited release of the Airtag you now can make a fateful decision if you want to

[background] Once your iPhone or iPad or iPod or iWatch or iLife or Eye-tooth or Apple TV or Macintosh or HomePod becomes part of the Apple Network you become a Node. That’s in addition to being a Nerd, so let’s call you a Node-Nerd. [end]

Every Node-Nerd has the opportunity to participate in the stalking enterprise. When used as a stalking Device the surreptitious Airtag will surreptiously contact your Apple Device via Eye-tooth (I mean Bluetooth) and your Device surreptitiously (you’ll never know or care) will contact the Apple Network. The Apple Network will, in turn, surreptitiously contact the stalker’s Device relaying where the stalkee is, was, will be, will see, will eat; plus their date of birth and expected date of death.

You could avoid participating in the stalking enterprise if you follow the following steps:
. After each step you take (in any direction) scan your surroundings by holding your Apple Device over your head and twirling it around (in all directions).
. While twirling, hold your Device in such a way as to have the screen point toward your eyes (for best visibility).
. If you notice anything, go to the Disable App immediately.
. Tap Disable.
. Don’t move from that spot for ten minutes (tap-dancing in-place is OK).
. Go to the Enable App.
. Tap Enable.
. Repeat.
