It is worth addressing. A port scan only tests for basic security and
access to a system. It is hardly a physical assault, also, coming from a
trusted domain everyone would be quite aware it was not a breach attempt on
their systems. Since these scans would be sent clear text across the web
anyone with a little knowledge could analyse them. If there was anything
suspisious it would be repoted instantly all over the world.
Nevertheless port scanning is illegal in some parts of the world, with
convictions to back the claim (decision of Finnish Supreme Court, case
number KKO:2003:36).
Welcome to Finland after you've started your large scale scanning ;-)
