Nope, not at all.

I've been to several places in the middle east, and I have never ever heard of any mention or even recognition of these certs.

I hear the Security+, CISSP & CEH mentioned most often. I've seen a lot of CEH certified people there.

No, the SCNA/SCNP/SCNS are obscure security certifications from Security Certified Program. They are taught from classes that are sometimes found in the curriculum of community colleges. These certs have never gained much notice in the high-tech world, but the classes can be interesting to take. One problem is that the courseware books are very expensive and only available from one publisher (Element K), which makes the whole thing look like a racket.
