Anyway, my point is that chasing Nmap probes is similar to chasing door wigglers. You can certainly stop and interview someone for wiggling doorknobs, but you can't arrest them for breaking and entering. Similarly, you can't arrest someone for unauthorized access (18 USC 1030) if they simply ran a scan.
The FBI must be bored...or technically challenged.
