Why the need every time this comes up to compare it to looking at doors from the sidewalk while walking our dogs? We're geeks, we understand what portscanning is well enough to form our own conclusions as to whether it is more right than wrong. Conversely, we don't need a pedestrian ethicist to conceptualize looking at doors by asking us to think about walking around and observing houses innocently as being somehow congruent to portscanning. Analogies offer similarities, not equations.
