Great idea, Chuck. In my experience, that market is virtually wide-open.
As you suspect, no one tool can accomplish your goals, so with that in mind,
here's a few suggestions to get you started.

Naturally, your laptop is your friend, and generally speaking, will be your
primary tool. That said, grab the following scanner for bluetooth:

@stake has done a lot of stuff with bluetooth in the not-so distant past, so
a little googling may turn up some tools and what-not they created for their
research.

Microwave Detector (electronic bugs)

WiFi Signal Finder
WFS-1 (the king; this was one of the first out, and I love it)

Mobile Edge

My boss just ordered this one for me yesterday, so I can't pass judgement on
it yet.

I don't think I've met all of your requirements, but I'm hoping at least the
stuff I had laying around can point you (and google ;) in the right direction.

Cheers,
