Why would Snort want to "slow down" a TCP scan?  Snort will catch it,
and under certain circumstances, flexresp2 can reset those
connections.  That's pretty much the extent of Snort's involvement.

No.  What would you accomplish by doing this?  Either block the
traffic or don't.  Slowing it down won't really get you anywhere
(it'll just take the attacker longer to do the same thing).
