There's the usual stuff about being in possession of one in the commission of a crime. I think the penalty might be higher in that case. There's lots on the internet about it. I googled it, and found a few good pages. Here's one: http://www.afn.org/~afn09444/scanlaws/scanner5.html Last edited: May 21, 2008
