It may have been a feel good type of action. If you were considered a threat who is to say you would not find a nice red blooded upstanding good American friend to bring the radio in for repair and then give back to you the fifth columnist.

A radio is and was portable, bring to a neighbors house and plug in there. Simple to go around this and it makes me wonder if it is an Urban radio Myth. A concerted effort to disable SW seems a bit of a stretch.
