It is possible to detect the local oscillators in a scanner, especially with plastic cases. If you want, I could ramble on about the subject, but reading up on "tempest" will give you a good idea what the spooks can do. The book "Body of Secrets" goes into this in some detail, mostly about how Cuban teletypes were monitored from boats outside the legal limit. Not radio, but similar idea.

I would be suspicious of anyone driving around the border without a scanner. ;-) No, that person would be a fed pretending to be a tourist.

If you have two scanners handy, you can park one on a fixed frequency and band scan with the other, and perhaps you will find a mixer frequency from the scanner that is parked. That is, the other scanner will lock up. If I had the model numbers of the scanners, I could predict the mixer frequencies if the IF data is published.
