Like, even Marvel Boy/Justice was able to do this in the mid 90s. He had some thugs in a TK grip and told them not to lie because he'd be able to feel their heartbeat through the TK sheath.
In NXM, she could tell the metal of the bullet fired at Xavier was alien. In UXM, she could tell spilt blood was mutant blood.
Other energy manipulators are able to "see/feel" through their powers, Jean should be no exception.
Ironically, she was already doing these kinds of feats in the original 60s days...she would routinely feel her way through walls and doors to manipulate locking mechanisms..and could telekinetically probe through a suitcase to detect a particular item was inside...or even feel an area had been rigged with bombs.
