I've heard that crypto transactions can be more secure but I've also heard that securing information on the blockchain is basically impossible because it is a publicly available ledger. How does bitcoin opsec work exactly?

You just send it through a mixer beforehand. Also securing information is possible on the blockchain, Monero does it.

But we already have "mixers" for normal money. It's called "money laundering". I can't imagine "mixing" remaining legal for much longer.

Legality is irrelevant, as long as it's still viable.
