Also, every bluetooth device i've ever used has a password built in, that is always 0000, or some series of zeros etc. Not very secure. Here he's holding it up to his mouth because he's in an exceptionally crowded and noisy place, and also so he can talk more quietly so that others don't hear what he is saying. He could not hold it up, but at the cost of privacy.

Sure, their interceptible of course. But everyone has a cell phone anymore, they need the number he's using. If they have just the slightest bit of knowledge that he's using a bluetooth device, a simple scan for bluetooth signals could give away his location (much less people use bluetooth with their cellphones than the number of people that have just have cellphones). Basically, unlike a cellphone, it's a risk that has no real payoff for him (I'm not denying cellphones are a risk, they definitely are).

It's because bluetooth is so easily interceptible. With the whole CIA on his ass, he's not gonna use a bluetooth device. That's just stupid.
