That may be how you interpret it but I think they're very analogous. The point is simple ... no one has any legitimate business checking the status of the doors and windows on my property and no one has any legitimate business port scanning someone else's network. What legitimate reason would I have in port scanning your network? Let me answer that for you ... absolutely none. At best, my answer would be curiosity and that doesn't qualify as legitimate. How many people on this list just assume that the scanner was looking out for your best interest when your logs reveal a port scan?

I don't know about you, but if someone comes by my house and rattles the door to check whether or not it's locked I'm going to assume he has bad intentions whether he does or not and he'll need to be prepared for my response.
