Put your card in monitor mode. Then capture management frames. And then you'll know how they did. Of course they have many more funds than any individual and can affect much more people that only one nerd with a laptop. But how they did is easy to understand. Even without help from the operators. They would only need help, if any, if the wifi network they wanted to track you into was closed. And even so, with the proper hardware, hacking into wpa-psk is feasible. Also even with encryption, you are open to side channel attacks, and they'll always know how many bytes you sent and received, as long as they do not loose any frame. The bottom line in: Don't want to be tracked? Go live in the woods with no gadgets, nor internet, nor anything else. Also do not forget to wear camouflage.
