Apple's AirTag technology, the company's new device for helping people find lost items, could also let stalkers keep tabs on their victims, experts warn.

The small, round tag is impressively precise and relatively easy to use — and potentially misuse. Experts say the gadget could facilitate stalking and enable domestic abusers. Washington Post tech columnist Geoffrey Fowler tested the tags, which can be attached to a keychain, iPhone or other device, or simply placed in an individual's purse or wallet. The trackers connect to the AirTag owner's iPhone to share their location.

"That's super handy if you maybe lose keys in the park and you need to find them again," Fowler told CBSN's Lana Zak. "But the problem is someone could slip one of these into your bag, or into your car or some other belonging of yours, without you knowing it."
