Scanner on board?

I know this more of a "Delta" question and not a "Skymiles" question... but still...

Can you bring a scanner (not transmitter, only receiver) onboard a Delta flight? I wouldn't ever turn it on, but would like to keep it with me for use in the airport and on my trip. Also, I don't trust putting it in my carry-on luggage. I asked Delta via e-mail, but they said it was prohibited from being on the plane or operated...

Delta's site says

Devices You Can't Use

For safety reasons, you may not operate the following devices onboard:

Two-way transmitters such as walkie-talkies, amateur radios, citizen band (CB) radios, 49 MHz transmitters
Devices designed to radiate radio frequency energy on specific frequencies
Peripheral devices for computers or games connected by cable
AM/FM radios
Portable television sets
Remote control toys
Bluetooth-enabled devices
Personal Air Purifiers
Smokeless cigarette/cigar/pipe devices
Technically, a "scanner" is none of these... Thoughts?
