Scott,
 
Have you considered a deer whistle or maybe painting your plane to look like a snake?

One argument I've heard concerning high speed passes is the potential of a bird strike.  At high speed the impact of a bird is much more dangerous than if it happens at approach speeds.  I'm not sure how valid the argument is, but it makes sense to me.
