> part of me has always known that bluetooth is just hacks on hacks… I allowed myself to be persuaded due to popularity. Scary.

Is it scary? Bluetooth is wildly convenient, and mostly works most of the time. There are definite software issues, and there are security issues, but for most of us, we're not going to run into them that often. (Well, ok - maybe not for most of the people on this site.)

I'm going to continue using my bluetooth headphones, because the odds of a nefarious hacker with a linux laptop attacking me directly are wildly low. In terms of security, my time & money would be better spent buying a steering0-wheel-lock-bar for my car, or a mechanical timer that will turn the lights on & off in my house randomly at night.
