Actually scanning is more like walking down the hall at the hotel and trying the door handles to all the rooms looking for one left open. That is someone showing an attempt to violate the room to do something not legal. If a security person sees someone rattling door knobs like that, then they should arrest them.

Road Runner proactive scanning.[Scanned] Here is better analogy: You call a hotel and question them about the services they offer to the guests. Does the staff have the right to arrest or harass you? A port scan is nothing more than a guest asking what services you offer. jef --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
