Its not always about "being a target" in the traditional sense of the word. Not being eye f*cked by people has advantages. It can be tough to disappear in a crowd if you standout or your gear looks like the odd one out. Unwanted attention can come from customs, the gate agent, law enforcement, or other people asking about your gear(been there).
Here's a question/scenario for you. If you need to find a weapon amongst a pile of bags, which bags would you look at first. Those with or without PALS in FDE/OD/Multicam first? Generally, anyone who has a bag with PALS knows what it is and is likely a shooter or fan of military wares. Although not a guarantee, I would focus on finding a weapon in a bag with PALS over a bag by BENCH/Prada/Jansport etc etc.
