Not necessarily true. If, for example, equipment in the shack is not 
properly bonded together, an antenna close to the shack will put a lot 
of RF in the shack, which will induce RF onto cables connected to 
equipment, and is likely to couple into equipment. If an antenna is 
working as an antenna and it's close to the shack, it WILL put RF in the 
shack -- that's what it is intended to do!

Proper bonding is described in this set of slides

and in N0AX's new ARRL book on Power, Grounding, and Bonding
