I don't know how viable that is. One nice thing about Passports, is they're designed to be integrated with laser "shifters" made by Escort. The alert goes off on the radar detector, you slow down, then shut off the shifter so the cop can get a "good" reading. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but it's not cheap:

These have a laser detector and jammer. Same thing, alarm, slow down, turn off jammer.

If the cop knows that he should be getting a good bead on you, but his gun is not playing, then he's going to know that you've got something going on. It's probably best if they don't know or aren't sure and you don't flaunt it too much.
