Even though this mainly helps people not get ganked i see this topic from both sides of the argument.

'I don't want to get ganked' while doing a site and 'i hope they don't see my probes' as i lock them down.

As a wormhole dweller i have been on both sides of this situation equally, we (my corp) regularly run sites in our home system and neighboring wormhole systems.
At the same time and more often i have been the one at the controlling side of the scan probes looking to lock down an unfortunate.

The idea i'm posting is simple and possibly mentioned before.
Make all scan probes an option in overview filter types, this way less clutter is shown on directional scan if profiles are made properly.
It may also reduce lag as less items are needed for directional, especially if you are within range of multiple Pos's.

More based from a wormhole point of view, it will help in highsec,lowsec, 0.0 and any future systems where local is not an immediate intel piece.

Though it may be necessary to introduce an increased scan time for filtered options, after all your onboard computer has more to worry about.
