I would worry about someone ripping them off the bag (although my partner has rightfully pointed out "why would someone steal something that could be used to track them down?") but wonder if you could still track if they were inside the luggage.
My initial thought is that I am going to leave it inside the case. I will test it out though and see how much the range is affected.
Somebody could potentially steal your airtag and then remove the battery. It would be a purely malicious act though as they wouldn't be able to pair it with any other phones once its placed it lost mode, rendering it useless to a would be thief.
