I was planning on moving to Portland, Oregon this summer.
According to this is could get in trouble for an ping, as it fits three
of the terms in the "accessing" section.
Maybe I'll stick with moving to Sweden. :)

But, watch out for liability for scanning.  In the state of Oregon, for
instance, port scanning
can be (dependent upon interpretation of state/local police) a Computer
Crime.  An attempt to access, without authorization, any
network/computer is
a misdemeanor.  I have seen this stick to
script kiddies.

So ... what happens if a script kiddy scans the wrong network from your
site?  Look at section
4.
