I wouldn't think so because you would need tens or hundreds of Bluetooth/WiFi radios. Even then they could still know that "here comes that guy with hundreds of Bluetooth/WiFi radios."
A simpler solution might be to use randomized and regularly rotated mac addresses for your WiFi chips, which is easy enough on any android/Linux device. However, I'm not sure what other unique identifiers they could use for fingerprinting.
