[Tfug] Questions regarding Linux and Bluetooth...

Folks,

I need the ability to check to see if Bluetooth communications are going on
in a given room (like, say, the Pima County election center).

When checking for WiFi I know how to use WiFi Radar and similar tools to
read what's going on even if there's no SSID.  I have a WiFi modem that can
operate in promiscuous mode (Atheros 5007).  So I'm covered there.

Are there equivelent software tools for Bluetooth?

Also: which Bluetooth USB adapters are any good?  Are some better than
others for "scanning"?

Thanks!

Jim
