I simply don't use bluetooth. Since it can be a security risk and also drains the battery I would like to keep it deactivated. I quickly found the option to turn it off in the settings menu, but the problem is: it doesn't stay dead!

Everytime I pull my Nexus 4 out of standby mode bluetooth reappears in the top bar as if I never deactivated it.

How can I deactivate it so it stays deactivated or better yet how can I remove it from my phone entirely?
I tried sudo apt-get remove bluez bluetooth, but I am not allowed to edit this package.
