Either turn on bluetooth so you can detect trackers, but you then expose your bluetooth MAC address allowing others to track you. Or turn off bluetooth, but you’ll never know if there’s a secret track on you. Wonder if there’s a way to passively scan for trackers without emitting bluetooth signals. (Does Graphene OS allow MAC address randomization for bluetooth?)
