    I am much more concerned about people placing these tags on/in your property -without- you knowing it.

    I mean, it'd be ridiculously easy to stick one under a car with some duct tape for example.

    however, it's perfectly functional for tracking you significant other's car keys, letting you know, in detail, where he/she/it goes.

    this is a BAD thing for your privacy. even if, at first, only certain people (namely, you) have access to this information, it is only a matter of time before someone cracks the security (probably your CIA, FBI, NSA or other hotbed of conspiracy theories like this one) and starts tracking where YOU go.
