For those speculating as to where some of our cards might have been over that past few months this site I found on Reddit is by a guy who has included Air Tags in a number of packages posted in England over the past few months for various International destinations.
I remember watching a video which proved that the postal service from the UK to North Korea was suspended with an air tag. You do wonder with remote destinations how often they can check a route is still working!
