The question that comes to mind is, what kind of people would be interested in this?
I could imagine the intelligence fields would LOVE a device like that -- Imagine a person with a cloak-suit that could walk around invisible and spy on people, since nobody can see you and intelligence agencies seem to have no concern at all about annoying little things like the Constitution, they could easily be used for domestic applications. You just go into people's houses find anything incriminating -- then you "phone in an anonymous tip" to the police and they arrest the guy. Nobody ever would take an invisible person going through everybody's houses seriously. Plus if nobody even knows they're being spied on, how do they object to this? You think any government is going to broadcast that they have a capability like this in operational status?
I could imagine the military would love this too, as they could build aircraft, tanks, even missiles that are completely invisible, and create soldiers with cloak-suits allowing them to shoot their enemies dead without being even seen.
I know if I was the President I'd want to develop these technologies so I could spy on nations, and even people I don't like with literal impunity. I could also attack any enemy I so choose without any capability of them to detect or stop me, invisible tanks, invisible aircraft, hell even invisible missiles and bombs. Hell you could develop invisible cloak-suits with rifles that can cloak with silencers and take out people you don't like (activists, dissidents, critics, outspoken individuals).
BTW: In case anybody is wondering, I was joking about the last paragraph.

People with technology like this would be dangerous...including the government.
Jetfire,
Yeah. It would...

Well the problem with the kind of cloaking we're talking about here is that you are essentially cutting off whatever is inside it from sensory input. The only way to make it invisible to all forms of detection is to make everything else undetectable from inside the field.
