It sounds like a money thing to me. They use the same frequencies and
some other kind of digital modulation as cell phones, or some other kind
of digital modulation from what I heard. Also, the other thing to keep
inmind is that during a flight, and not take off or landing you can use a
lap top that does emit RF. However, if you use any kind of a scanner and
they know about it you are sure to get griped out about it.
