noise & alignment issue...wheel bearings maybe?

I had the front end aligned this past year, and I put new tires on the car. I noticed that here recently that the tires were starting to wear excessively on the outer edges. I spoke with the shop, and they said the alignment was done, so I had them look at it again, and they said the alignment was OK. Now, about a month ago, I was on a road trip, and I noticed a high-pitched squeaking noise that sounded like a brake wear indicator squeaking. I checked the brakes, but they had plenty of pad left.
I just had a revalation this morning. Could the wheel bearings be causing both the squeak I'm hearing and the alignment issue? I am thinking if the front bearings are worn out, the car will check OK when it's weight is lifted off on the alignment rack, but once the suspension is loaded up, the wheels will "splay out" and cause the tires to wear on the edge more.
Would I be correct in that assumption?
