how come there arent any stealth planes to carry passengers? It seems like sumething the size of a gulfstream G5 with stealth technology would be a great asset for the government to move people in complete secret, now i guess it could already exist and we are just not told about this, so would this be a good asset

Likely little benefit...
Hiding in plain sight often works best, even a stealth aircraft has to land somewhere, so unless you own the airfield your cover is blown. A bland looking bizjet is often the most effective.
If real invisibility is required a Y ticket on Air Obscuristan is probably best.

If your camera sends text messages, that could explain why your photos are rubbish!

Who/what would the stealth technology hide you from? It's not as if private citizens have radar equipment mounted on their home rooftops for tracking government aircraft movements.

Indeed. Call yourself a consultant and charter a Citation or a King Air, and nobody will give it a second thought.
Heck, take it a step further....act like a pompous, rich doctor, treat everyone around you like crap, and everyone will go out of their way to avoid you...
