Thats kind of the rub isn't it? If I'm authorized to do the scan its reasonable. If I'm unauthorized nothing I do is reasonable.

It' similar to drivers licenses. If you get in an accident that wasn't your fault, but your license was invalid, its still your fault legally because you weren't meant to be on the road at all.
