Scanning happens after WP-1 tasks, so the new and lost scanner shouldn't give any info. And finding the scanner is rather easily for a 3rd party with passwords.

Yes but I think you might have missed my point there:
Let's say player A is due to be attacked by player B and is most likely going to lose Planet X in a couple of years.
Since a pen scanner was built at planet X, this scanner will allow player A to see player B's ships and planets in the vicinity.
Player A then decides to perform a counter strike at a couple of player B's weaker planets. Player A gets a free look at player B's strengths and weaknesses and is only forced by the host to vacate a planet that he was going to lose anyway. Mad

My point was really that you will need a more severe penalty on a player for accidentally (or not!!!) building a planetary scanner, than just making them vacate the planet (there was no penalty suggested by the host for such a thing, but I was merely pointing out that it might have to be fairly harsh if it occurs). Shocked
