I'd be really interested in the fake Syndicate PDA if it wasn't a QM-specific thing. A lot of the problem with job-specific traitor items is that after it's become obvious one has been used, the entire Security staff (reasonably) puts out an APB on you. Subtle traitor items don't work for job-specific roles because of that. If it's going to be job-specific, it needs to be something like the butcher knife, grenade kit, etc that you'd only reasonably use if you're ready to cause some serious do or die havoc.
I do think there needs to be more subtle traitor stuff though, there currently is so little in the PDA that can help the traitor with subtlety and misinformation that I rarely unlock my PDA as a traitor. Everything's too obvious and you're better off just getting a flash and messing people up that way. At least then you can be mistaken for a changeling or vampire and cleared of suspicion when they do a blood test or throw you in the chapel and nothing happens.
