If you increase the number of bits in a hash, you do not guarantee against collisions, but you can make them so infrequent that searching for them becomes impractical.

If the randomizations have such an effect that data sniffing is still possible but its speed is 1 bit per week, trying to sniff something interesting becomes impractical. (Or not; depends on your threat model.)
