I watched a street art documentary once. These guys are the modern day sleuths, masters of being hidden in plane sight. Sometimes they will dress like construction workers, or they walk through restricted property with guiltless confidence that garners no suspicions, or tag walls with such authority that pedestrians walking by assume they are somehow legal workers or supposed to be doing that. I've worked places that require ID badges, and when a grubby teen without one walks through confidently because he's paid to fix the cable somewhere, it's a lot different then suspicious, it's natural, and you have to remind yourself of your job, otherwise you might not even notice him. Likewise I walk by countless people everyday on the street that I don't even look at. They are unassuming, inconspicuous, part of the background. Everyday meant-to-be-there scenery pieces.
Chris you are perhaps so correct you point out the very flaw in your logic. Switching to an active sneak stance IS suspicious. Tiptoeing somewhere in not sneaky, it's wearing a neon sign that says I'm up to something. A true sneak knows how to appear as mundane as the saplings spaced out across the sidewalk. They don't tiptoe. They don't need to. They are already completely silent from their upgrades. They posses a quality that makes eyes skip over them as if they'd been hacked, they travel through crowds like ghosts, and wear bright Mohawks but remain completely invisible.
If I want to toggle something to affirm to myself in going stealth, I'll toggle on my active camo. Toggling that AND a sneak button is, as I've said, redundant. And I've no question with is the cooler of the two to keep. To keep the forceful idealism of my train of thought from being belligerent I'll add yet another alternative, what about some kind of black noise generator (frequencies out of the human hearing range) to muffle the airwaves and quite footsteps/movement?
