That's exactly it. The RF emitted by these devices does have the potential
to interfere with aeronautical equipment. Sit an FM radio next to even a
lousy 386 computer and you will find that somewhere on the FM band, you will
hear the computer's interference. That's pretty much what can be expected of
today's equipment given the processing power used and the frequencies that
they generate as a result.

Do you know what it is that makes "laser devices" supposedly
dangerous ? I believe some airlines forbid the use of laptops
with CD-ROMs on board. Do they emit a lot of electric noise
or something ?
I know I'd rather not listen to MDs for a couple of hours
than putting everybody's live at risk (and mine).
