Stamps on a passport is actually a pretty good example on what one would like to hide from the authorities even though he didn't do anything wrong. I say that as an answer to people like Eric Schmidt who say that if we have something to hide, we shouldn't have done it in the first place. Well, that would be true in a perfect world, but here we have a perfect example that it's not the case. So for this case, I would also advise having multiple passports.

Yeah, I know people who have "lost" their passport in between trips to Israel and to Arab countries. I guess it's worth the replacement fee to avoid potential problems.

  People who lost their passport due to Israel or Arab country concerns are idiots. The warnings from travelers, both from the past and probably traveling with you or you would bump into are numerous. Israel is very well aware of this, and they give you the opportunity to attach your visa to a piece of paper that you can remove after you departure from Israel. We would have the Egyptians specifically stamp this paper, and then you could throw it away. Source: Me, traveled to Iran and Israel on the same passport, along with Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan

  In the US, you can actually get a second password. There are a few reasons for doing this. The most notable is that there are a few countries for which getting a visa can be a relatively lengthy process (e.g. India)--which is a problem if you're doing a lot of international travel and can't have your passport of of your hands for that long. It may also be useful if you travel to countries that are in various stages of conflict with each other.
