I could possibly get slated for this but here goes......
Scouts (alts or otherwise) are a global threat and nuisence within eve imho becase they are sat somewhere cloaked with hardly any chance of finding them and getting the kill 
So what about some sort of EMP bomb for example.....a bomb that does no damage but uncloaks everyship for say 100 - 200 kms and stops them recloaking for say 30 seconds....
This would make things a little more interesting 
BTW i love cloaked ships but i think this would ballance things out......Thoughts....

IMO, cloaked ships pose no direct threat to anyone. Cloaked ships have severe penalties that limit their lock time after uncloaking. If I'm in a recon ship 150km's from a station then what threat do I pose? I am in a paper thin ship that, if caught, is surely doomed. Most recon ships have very limited slots. I pilot a Helios and it has 2 Hi-Slots. Those are filled with a cov-ops cloak and a scan probe launcher. It has a 5m^3 drone bay...it's not a threat to even a noob ship.
If I'm in any ship other than a recon, then I'm pretty much dead in the water as well. If I uncloak while surrounded then I can't lock onto anything for nearly 30 seconds anyway. I can't warp while cloaked so I have to align then decloak then reaccelerate before I can warp. While cloaked my speed is reduced to around -90% so I can usually only travel under 100km/s. I can't activate a MWD while cloaked so I'm really a sitting duck. Sure I can uncloak and attack someone but they would need to be practically AFK for me to even be able to lock them before they could get away.
If someone is cloaked in a system and they are disrupting your operations then you need some better skills (not in-game skills) to deal with them. It sounds like you are more worried about getting an easy kill than anything else.

Just remove cloacked ships from local! Stop all the whinging then.

fine - you can have your EMP bomb, but its max range should be 100km, and it should act just the same as current bombs (0.0 only, costs 20 mill, needs a special launcher).

First of all you totally missed the point of the topic TOTALLY nice to see your reading is up to scratch....
I did say i liked being cloaked....in propper cloaking ships
Now with the covert cynos being able to POSSIBLY find a cloaked ship by a pos or a gate for example would be very useful indeed
I am NOT one of the devs who wants cloaking nerfed - just wanna find a solution to the alts/cynos ect
