I voted other because there's already a power in the game that does this but I'm not sure if it covers the entire suggestion since it does have a limit:
Quake, which a Mystic power, scatters humans. Tier 1 only scatters NPC, but Tier 2 will scatter PC humans if you're using it outside.
If there's a need to scatter PC humans from inside a building, then I could see having something that would allow that. Instead of an item, perhaps add the option to the hacking menu to attempt trip the fire alarm in the building. Or a craftable gadget that would simulate the same fire alarm tripping.
For just scattering PC humans from a particular square inside a building, there's always powers like Teleport or Throw.

I'm not sure if I understand this properly... But if this is meant as scattering humans in order to create a low security area to perpetuate violence that would otherwise rise their notoriety? Then I vote no.
Killers and Mystics have powers that can clear squares (at a cost - anima), and anyone who jumps a few bridges can access those powers in due time. I don't see the need for an item or an added skill just for this purpose.

There is also assassin's cloak power, that allows an attack without being seen.
I love that one. My characters use it a lot.

I thought he power had the chance of gaining attention? Doesn't it? And yes, particularly inside buildings, is what I was thinking of. However, I love the hacking idea or craftable. I thought it'd be over-powered if you could re-use it over and over. You'd just essentially be paying a fee (buying/crafting the gadget) to clear it, just like instead of blood heal you can buy a blood bag.
