I've never had it in my pocket. I don't even like to keep a second one there. Seems like the only times I need two are for youth games.
If you're a wing official, the sidelines are always looing at your back and they'll definitely see the wheels turning in your head if you put your hand back there and then don't pull the trigger.
To me, it's just like a finger whistle vs. a lanyard. I have given myself a moment to process everything and no one is the wiser.
