You have to consider a couple of things.
- Generally media folks go with the flow. If "illegal screens" are in the news, they talk about illegal screens. If Martha Stewart's getting out of jail...well, you get the idea.
- Announcers are paid to announce. It doesn't matter much what comes out of their heads, they just need to have the words.
- The best way to teach how to screen illegally such that it's not called is to teach how to screen *legally*. (There are ways to screen illegally and limit the odds it will be called, but that's another discussion.)
