Detecting Airtags

Howdy,
I’ve seen a lot of articles about airtags being used to track unsuspecting people/objects and was wondering how hard it would be to detect them on a Librem 5.

Not sure (interested to see what others say) but shouldn’t this be able to be completed via the command line/traditional Bluetooth scanning? Checked a bit but didn’t find a Linux specific Airtag solution (though Openhaystack was neat to learn about).

Also Tile and others have been able to track people for awhile too so looking at it more broadly to inclue Bluetooth tracking as a whole might be nice.
