Rob Flickenger has proven that the design concept behind the
Pringles Cantenna is flawed, and has come up with improved designs
that are significantly better using coffee cans.
Moreover, neither a Pringles Cantenna nor a Coffee Cantenna are
particularly stealthy. A proper patch antenna can be extremely
stealthy if you put it into unassuming looking plastic boxes (such as
Tupperware) which you then place in a signal transparent cloth
carrier such as a backpack or fanny pack, and can perform well enough
for the task.
Is there a particular reason why you find it necessary to attack
someone for choosing not to use your favourite antenna design for an
application where it may be very sub-optimal for what they are trying
to achieve?

Please do. Then show us some pictures indicating how easily you
can hide your various antennas.
