In the current situation, and in the short term, I believe, it is no little possible to allow Bluetooth, yes I use mouse (with a dongle, in the Tails), keyboard, and headphones with Bluetooth. I hope that the security with the Bluetooth improved in the next few months, yes at some point will be propitious and auspicious use Bluetooth at the Tails.
