I think we should get an item that uses the pistol (sidearm) slot with an "overheat" like mechanism similar to the engineer's repair gun. So while having it out and actively using it, you wouldn't be detected by scout radars. The switch over to a non-combat tool and the limited time and blocked use while sprinting would be enough as a handicap.
Nice I like your idea. So i can hide when rocketpod with radar fly above me. I got chance to stay a live !!!
Good idea. Unfortunately that would also preclude the use of a pistol, which for some people is the only consistent CQC weapon excluding the knife (infiltrator's using a sniper rifle in their loadout comes to mind). I would rather it take up the utility slot. That way, you choose between mines, medkits, or the radar scrambler or whatever you want to call it.
Flash radar needs a hefty radius nerf. Vehicle radar needs an audio cue in general, along the lines of the Infiltrator dart.
