They should make the whole plane out of AirTags
Good thing ships aren't losing doors. As far as I know, Apple doesn't offer SeaTags.
Ships do lose containers regularly though. New market opportunity!

Disabling auto-lock is definitely a thing, as anyone that's ever tried to use an iPhone in a car for navigation knows. It's very possible the phone has a passcode but was sucked out while someone was using it, and never put to sleep. Also worth noting the owner had a screen protector, so that may have quashed that everlasting debate.
When I use my phone for navigation it doesn't lock itself. I've observed this behaviour on iOS and Android.
There is an "don't lock" app feature, most obviously used by video apps but I've seen a couple others offering this feature.

Would it help if in addition to the bell ringing, cars would start to let out some very nasty odour? Could help with the deaf and the noise ignorant.
Or maybe a speed limiter. You can’t go over 25mph until the seatbelt is fastened. That would let people move a car in the driveway or something minor, but force them to buckle to get on most roads.
Limiting speed (below highway speeds) can be incredibly dangerous. Not being able to merge at speed is a non starter.

There was a death at 20mph around our area though, because of no seatbelt. It was specifically shown at the course to attain the driver's license.
How fast was the other car going?

A lot of Europeans fly those chip as shit airlines within Europe.
That's their choice - the comment I replied to phrased it as if every airline charges extra for any baggage of any kind, not that cheap airlines charge for 'extras'.
> oddities in American flights
And you framed it as if every American airline charges extra for any baggage of any kind

> I also almost never use apps like dedicated banking apps or social media apps; instead, using Safari. Nearly every bank I know of recommends using apps over their website, since in general they're safer than using their websites. But I'm in The Netherlands and I don't know whether banking apps in different countries have the same security standards.
I solve that, by not doing banking with my phone. Social media and store loyalty apps are basically just PID harvesters. In fact, I have a couple of solitaire games that are constantly nagging me to join leaderboards and take community challenges. All my financial transactions are done with my Mac, which sits behind a fairly robust home network. I know, for certain, that banking apps are the #1 first target, for hack…

Even though some scum corps like Chase make it a PITA to manage my account from a desktop through firefox, that's the only way I'm going to interact with them.
"Download the app!"
Hard no!
In fact these are the only apps I think that appear regularly on my phone, but only when I'm traveling: AirBnB, Uber/Lyft, and whatever airline I'm currently flying on next. I think if I'm crossing borders I've installed whatever gov spyware makes TSA/Global Entry easier. They're already groping me hard, why not.
LA Fitness gets to stay because it's dumb and silent. I don't see anything else not security related. On mobile I talk to the outside world with K-9, firefox, signal, whatsapp, sms. I'm happy.

Non technical users do some things that we don't even dream about doing, like setting auto-lock to "Never". EDIT: I see some people got offended with the bit about Non-Technical users and downvoted me to Hades. I apologize. Not everyone is paranoid like me.
I have auto lock disabled, because I'm the one to decide when I don't need to look at my screen anymore. But that's different from not requiring faceid/passcode upon unlock.
I have to ask, why? I use the default settings without issue. Face ID is near instant, and I have almost never had my phone go to sleep when i don’t want it to.
