There are already many high slot modules that can shut down an active cyno. They are called turrets and missile launchers. Rumor has it that drones, bombs, and smartbombs are also capable of shutting down a cyno.

I once undocked my carrier to show it to a new bro, (irl buddy of mine no intelligence leaks there) and within 1 minute i had a ******* Pandemic legion ganksquad on my undocked carrier... It was fairly silly... Docked back up and felt like a big boy once the shakes stopped...
You undocked a Carrier without paying attention to local and you think this is a problem with game mechanics?

It's hardly an I win button if the maller is jammed/kited and has to panic light, you all warp off, and all the people who were waiting on the bridge have fatigue and no kills for all the waiting you made them do. This is boring for both sides and the lack of real risk makes it a daily recurring experience. I'm trying to liven things up by forcing both sides to consider alternative tactics.
This is Eve. If you cannot win, than you deny them any satisfaction from the experience.
You are trying to have a personal cyno jammer on your ship. If you want that, stay in high sec or go to WH space.

That solution is like suggesting jumping before you hit the ground will save you from a falling elevator.
I've seen it happen plenty of times - not often to bait ships, but to BLOPs hunters. Granted, I do not know what caused the problem on the hostile end, but several of my friends have been dropped and killed the cyno ship before the hostile gang made it through. I have also seen it happen when going after a bunch of Skiffs and the horde of assisted drones obliterates the cyno very quickly. Usually this happens to throwaway alts in stealth bombers. If you use a sturdier ship, you don't have the same issues, but you are also not as agile.
Anyone who engages an probable bait ship without expecting an escalation needs to rethink their approach to Eve.
I do understand the frustration inherent behind the OP's suggestion. The hardest part of Eve PvP is finding a way to make someone commit to a fight so you can kill them. Whether that comes with hiding numbers in a gate, on the other side of a jump bridge, in a nearby WH, cloaked, docked, or wherever, disguising your true strength is usually the first requirement for success in Eve PVP.
This module would not make people more likely to get into fights, so it does not solve that problem.
