I prefer the realism of sharing scan data with the team, even sharing passive scan data with the whole team. Why wouldn't a military force do that? Combatants should use whatever advantage that they can get over the enemy.
Scouts can damp below active scan precision anyway, so it's not a problem.

Are you suggesting that in order to make it fair to everyone, there should be some level of active scanner capable of detecting all scouts, even the most dampened ones?

Yes, active and passive scans. However the most dampened scouts would only be scannable at very short ranges.
One consideration for active scanners: if these "very short ranges" are too short (i.e. less than 20 meters), then the merc doing the scanning will not have time to swap from his/her scanner to a weapon, since weapon changes cannot occur until the scan completes, rendering the merc running the active scan incapable of self defense.

... and ALL passive scans as well. Even the venerated lvl 5 Amarr scout cannot passively scan all scouts with moderate degrees of dampening.
When an opponent is both visually invisible and undetectable on TACNET, it is no longer a game. It is a massacre.
