Because most radio receivers emit radio frequency energy which
can interfere with navigational equipment.

Probably because he read the rules promulgated by most carriers

Why?
Radio receiver's emit a low power signal (more like rf noise) that could
interfere with an aircraft's navigation and control systems.
How do I know this?
I read it on the flight safety card in the seat back pouch in front of
me when I was flying from Sydney last week.

Because radio receivers also transmit.

It's widely promulgated by the airlines, and has been done to death
in all of the travel newsgroups.

Wrong again, as always. Take a look at Sydney. JAL and CX screen bags with
an xray before check-in. QF don't. It is not merely airport specific.
