As a slightly off-topic note, but something the snort community might find 
interesting, this thread was referenced by Fydor (author of nmap) in his 
recent interview on Slashdot:

Now I'll admit that I don't always obtain explicit permission before 
scanning other networks. I don't believe (but IANAL) that a simple port/OS 
scan of a remote system is or should be illegal. Any machine connected to 
the Internet will be scanned so often that most admins ignore such "white 
noise" anyhow. But scan other networks often enough, and someone will 
eventually complain
