There are different degrees of tracking. If my transmitter only transmits completely random data you can triangulate me at any one time, but you can't tell me apart from others[1]. This is what I would like to have. People may be able to tell where a specific signal is coming from but they can't reliably track a single device around the city as the only connection between my signal now and 1min ago is that the source moved continuously between those two locations. In practice it will never be perfect (patterns in traffic volume could give a specific user away) but it would be nice to strive towards this.
[1] (Well if you have perfect reception of my signal following me around constantly you may be able to track my specific signal, but once you lose me for a second in a group of people you don't know which one I am coming out)
