Default You probably don't know the answer but what allows WiFi scanning anyway?

In article , says...

Back in the early to mid '90s, the standard albeit incorrect
answer for "no cell phone use on airplanes" was that they would
interfere with the operation of the airplane.

My question was, if that was true, why wasn't Mount Wilson a
smoking crater for the amount of RF it poured out under the
flight path.


At least while fuselages were still made of metal, it should be more
resistant to RF (and lightning) from outside than inside...
