I think he was being sarcastic.
Whether your wireless mouse can crash the plane or not, the flight
attendants will not permit you to use it. The videos that they show at the
start specificly mention cordless mice as a risk factor.
To say more on the issue, flight attendants have developed a phobia for
anything that is technological. They will most likely ask you not to use a
Palm, an iPod or a digital video player. They cut you some slack only after
takeoff and before landing.
