It's not actually a bad thing when plotholes can be explained away.

Weapons are not scanners. And as to the point before this one, I think people would get suspicious when their scrying spells keep dying out in one particular big location, as though something were destroying them.

Also, one of the things the TSAB was founded to do was to find and neutralize all remaining mass-based weaponry left over from the war. No one wants unexploded ordinance hiding in wait. Especially not in their own backyard, next to major population centers.

Those would be the first place you look.
