I think that ordinary nobles, when without troops and in enemy lands,  
are presumed to be hiding out, doing their best to avoid notice.   
Naturally they can't disguise their presence (unless they're  
infiltrators), but they can keep from being found by patrols (if  
they're lucky) and, by the same token, sweeps through the region by  
noisy soldiers.  It seems to me you're automatically assumed to be on  
the lookout for such people, which is why it's harder (I believe) to  
walk troopless through a region with a 2000-man army in it without  
getting caught than it is to walk through a region with 20 bored  
militia men.

And, as Rob Croson says, I can arrest a priest of my own realm in my  
own capital, so it's not quite the way you put it as it is.
