I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.
No but some of the highschool kids come close
This is true. Radio usage is monitored and restricted by district.
We can take items away if they are causing a problem, but generally we aren't allowed to keep the items, they have to be claimed by a parent. That being said, don't argue, apologize, and let the driver keep said item for the time being. When you go to get off the bus, ask the driver for the item back and see what the driver says.
Not that I've seen but it would be awesome if we did have air horns. People are gonna run our stop signs regardless.

What would be some less obvious ways someone could save money on a Vegas trip?
I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.
Depends on the context and how many other ears were around to hear the cuss word. If i have all highschoolers, I've been known to relax the rules a bit and cut up with them because God knows they've heard worse already.
If the parent is being unreasonable, let them know they can continue the issue with your supervisor and shut the door in their face. Bus riding is a privilege not a right.
