Why use tcptraceroute for this? Scanrand from the Paketto Keiretsu
package is much better equiped for such tasks.

That's simply a feature of your OS TCP/IP stack. Unless other scanners
take extra special care in not letting the OS see the SYN ACK, a RST
will be sent simply because the OS does not know anything about the SYN
that it is responding to.
