I didn't miss it at all, but you're missing my point. Every  
interconnecting cable combines with whatever it is connected to to form 
the antenna. So when you unplug it from one end you are simply 
shortening it.  So try the dummy and see what happens.

The logic is simple -- if you hear the RFI with the dummy in line, the 
problem is on the receiving end of the signal flow. If you don't, it's 
somewhere upstream.

I agree that this suggests that the Airport is the culprit, and that audio output jack sure looks like a Pin One Problem. :)
