Hi Robert,
Thanks for posting. At Brisbane the only time I've ever been questioned about my scanner was by a Wilsons security bloke who was just driving around moving on spotters from no stopping zones - the AFP or Airside security have never seemed concerned. I guess there's always going to be new people to the job or area who've not really dealt with spotters before, so scanners might just be assumed to be suspicious tools of crime, hopefully the officers involved learnt something new that day.
As you've done, cooperate with their instructions and answer their questions while understanding they're just doing their job we'll all live to spot another day!
