Protecting remote control “toys”?

Strange question I know but most remote control "toys" are kind of cheap as far their connection goes. They have simple Bluetooth connections that allow them to be controlled from an app.

However what I've seen recently is that it's possible for anyone with a Flipper Zero (or any simple tool really) to not only see the existence of these toys, but activate and deactivate them as well.

Can this be prevented? I'm well aware that the chances of someone in my general vicinity at any time having the knowledge and desire to do this is rare... but if this were to happen how could I protect the device? Or find a more secure one? Or would I just have to simply give up remote toys and surrender to the powers that be?
