Since you're obviously in the right, how about scanning some U.S. military networks and letting us all know what OS they are using?
I have tcpwrappers set to trigger a portscan after certain actions... and I have inadvertently scanned a section of the navy.mil network because of this. (They're running raptor... what a surprise.) I was not approached by any men in black after this happened. I suspect the US Military is well accustomed to having its networks scanned. - --Len. __ L.
