I don't think people should be able to see what gear your wearing unless they are in your pk range, every time i walk into a room some lowbie looks at me and doesnt say ANYTHING, geee i wonder what their looking for... about a 99% chance their deciding if they want to get onto their lvl 50 and attack me for gear.
You see i've noticed why i have such a hard time at 50... im logged in my lvl 50 for 4-5 hours straight trying to explore and learn things while other players will stay logged into a lowbie and wait for people they know they can kill or look for specific items on lvl 50's that they want and they won't log in UNLESS they KNOW its worth a possible death.
Don't be so paranoid, dude. If thats the case then you should be ready for an attack, right?

Well, that would be cheating (from a PK point of view) wouldn't it? Put your suspicions on Prayer and they will be looked into. You'd be surprised that the IMMs actually notice thought....
Sometimes players who can't 'play classy' just can't seem to get any further than V or T in a cabal - no matter what they do unless they clean up their act. Not that they realise it - or other players work it out. Think of it like a 'glass ceiling' for douches.... 
Lytholm.
I felt that way once Sandbox, but as Lytholm eluded to, is it not OOC for you to consider that player has a level 50 to come after you with? Alter your "player frame of mind" to a "character frame of mind" and the Paranoid thoughts will vanish.
Blessed be.
