uhm.... could you please explain how anyone can *proactively* detect
recon scans? Is that through some ESP plugin?

100% no false positives, 'proactive' intrusion detection, intrusion
prevention products that can 'sense' when you are 'about' to scan, and
'cloak' your network for you..... oh wow, I guess we're not in Kansas
anymore...
