Short answer: You should not place too much faith in wikipedia's accuracy.
It can be great, but is not 100% reliable.
Second, what are you security concerns? There is a lot of misinformation
and fear mongering in this area, and there are a lot of people online
promoting extreme fear and paranoia.
So I have a two-fold question for you:
What are you trying to protect?
Who are you protecting it from?

I have only a few machines a max of 6' apart.
My usage would typically be peer-to-peer but I want to communicate

My web connectivity is via a T-Mobile WiFi Hotspot (WiFi turned off).
I run Debian and all software must be in their repository.
I've just begun reading - primarily Wikipedia articles and some links
from them. My primary question is "What should I be reading?" in
order to ask appropriate questions.
A significant concern is security issues. Bluetooth, being short
range, may thus have an advantage. Speed is likely not an issue for my
expected usage. (I was one of my ISP's last 6 dial-up clients ;)
