Jeffrey -

The point isn't that some device ... a laptop, for example ... is a
radiator, per se.  The point is that specific devices are _designed_ to
radiate in very specific frequency ranges and those have the potential for
head-on collisions with avionics.  Don't argue with the rule, just observe
it ... you're an FCC licensee and should be used to this concept.  I haven't
seen any hams trying to challenge this FAA regulation before the FCC, which
I interpret as fairly sound proof that it's a good rule.
