You're reaching here. Not at any time did any of the four cast members I interacted with mention it being a potential bomb trigger. The second person I spoke to (that looked like a lead) said it was because I could listen in on park communications and the cast member in Guest Services said it could be used to "disrupt" their communications.
A lot of cast members at DL carry radios so they know full well the difference between a radio and a cell phone. Besides, if someone wanted to trigger an explosive device, it's more likely they would use a cell phone than a radio. Or use the remote to a toy car, as the Boston Marathon bombers are believed to have done. Should DL ban toy cars from the parks?
Everyone seems to go to the defense of the cast members here, but they knew exactly what they were doing. It's an established policy not to let amateur radios into the park.
If you saw this on someones belt, what would you call it?

Well that looks like a walkie talkie. And I understand your annoyance, I'd talk to corporate since it bothered you. You're a guest and have a right to voice your concerns and ask questions about a policy. And they should be concerned if what they're telling CMs to spiel is misinformation.
