Why is putting your salary requirements on a resume a bad idea?

If you do, it saves you and the recruiter a lot of time; going through job applicants and interviews only to find out that if your salary expectations don't match, then there is no deal. The whole useless process could be avoided if the recruiter knew your salary requirements beforehand. (Maybe on your resume)
