Though I have myself decided to no longer participate in that chain, there
is a relation between the two. Port scanning is often, though not always,
a prelude to an attack. Firewalls are designed to stop attacks.
Now, wether or not the relationship is strong enough to warrant
discussion, is largely a matter of opinion, in my opinion.
