If you don't have evidence that emissions will be within acceptable limits and will not interfere with the planes avionics then you don't introduce things into life safety critical areas like planes.

It's the same reason a captain can declare pretty much whatever they want on their plane and you as a passenger are _obligated_ to follow those orders. It's a felony if you don't. The captain doesn't have to present evidence just any concern that some action might interfere with the safety of his flight and that's the end of the discussion.

The ironic thing is that during the same period, 110V powered electric shavers - which most likely spurt out noise all over the RF spectrum - were perfectly acceptable to use on aircraft.

I mean I've never seen 200 people use an electric shaver for an entire flight. He'll, I don't think I've seen one.

So, uh, apparently I was unaware of this rule: I used one about 35 years ago. I was flying to Europe, and didn’t have a compatible power adapter when I landed in Helsinki, so I used the plane’s lavatory on the hop to Sweden.
