In any case -- it depends by country. Germany, Switzerland and Austria have always scanned my rez card and refused to scan/stamp my passport. Spain/Portugal/Italy/France do the opposite (in the Italian case the passport wasn't even scanned, until I asked for a stamp.)

The amount of scrutiny also depends on which country's passport you hold.
