Have him read the Part 15 notice on the back of most electronic devices, 
read to the end:

 15.5   General conditions of operation.
(a) Persons operating intentional or unintentional radiators shall not be 
deemed to have any vested or recognizable right to continued use of any 
given frequency by virtue of prior registration or certification of 
equipment, or, for power line carrier systems, on the basis of prior 
notification of use pursuant to §90.35(g) of this chapter.
(b) Operation of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is 
subject to the conditions that no harmful interference is caused and that 
interference must be accepted that may be caused by the operation of an 
authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, 
by industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an incidental 
radiator.
(c) The operator of a radio frequency device shall be required to cease 
operating the device upon notification by a Commission representative that 
the device is causing harmful interference. Operation shall not resume until 
the condition causing the harmful interference has been corrected.

§ 15.19   Labelling requirements.
(a) In addition to the requirements in part 2 of this chapter, a device 
subject to certification, or verification shall be labelled as follows:
(1) Receivers associated with the operation of a licensed radio service, 
e.g., FM broadcast under part 73 of this chapter, land mobile operation 
under part 90, etc., shall bear the following statement in a conspicuous 
location on the device:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to 
the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
(3) All other devices shall bear the following statement in a conspicuous 
location on the device:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to 
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, 
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This usually gets their attention as most people don't like having their 
house torn apart by spooks:

§ 15.29   Inspection by the Commission.
(a) Any equipment or device subject to the provisions of this part, together 
with any certificate, notice of registration or any technical data required 
to be kept on file by the operator, supplier or party responsible for 
compliance of the device shall be made available for inspection by a 
Commission representative upon reasonable request.
(b) The owner or operator of a radio frequency device subject to this part 
shall promptly furnish to the Commission or its representative such 
information as may be requested concerning the operation of the radio 
frequency device.
