IIRC, their position was not that interference could somehow bring down the plane, but that the static generated by even low-level interference could interfere with pilot-tower communications. As I said before, I think pilot-tower communications are difficult enough as it is. I'd rather not do anything that would add any static to the mix.
lastly, landing accidents are not caused by an occasional crackle, but by tower operators giving the wrong instructions. these ieee and faa apologists have no perspective, thinking molehills can justify anything, as long as it's tradition.
