Default nmap *.*.*.*

Could I get in trouble for running this command on a computer connected
to the WAN:
nmap *.*.*.* -T Paranoid
I want to do this entirely out of curiosity. I don't want to do
anything illegal. I'd just like to see what kinds of servers are out
there and what daemons they are running. Do I need to use Paranoid
timing policy, or could I use Sneaky or Normal? Should I exclude class
A IP addresses so that I won't be scanning so many government
computers? I know, of course, that this program would take months or
more to finish executing; I wouldn't be expecting it to actually scan
every port on every IP address out there.

TIA

Why don't you first consider what the wildcards will expand to on the
command line?

No - because the command will bomb out because you have not supplied a
valid hostname or subnet, instead you have supplied the filenames in the
current directory.
