Isn't it easier to turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

  With randomization, you can keep using wifi and bluetooth and not be tracked.

    If you're BT mac address is randomized, does it means you have to re-associate the BT HEADSET all the time? What's the triggering event for new randomized address for both BT and WIFI? reboot, screen on?

      Randomization happens when probing for new wireless networks or bluetooth devices. Existing connections use your actual mac.

        In that case, can they just design some equipments to sniff the existing any connections to correctly ID a repeat customer?

          Bluetooth is fairly hard to sniff because it has encryption and frequency-jumping built in. It can be done though, maybe with an UberTooth One or similar. http://ubertooth.blogspot.com/ http://ubertooth.blogspot.com/
