I agree with you.
Let them drink, let them smoke and show them where they can dispose of their cigarettes.
Don't shake them down for id's to prove the meds they are are theirs.
Death by bureacracy. This is why our government doesn't work.
The booze is a definite NO_NO...that's just a set up for violence. The cigarettes, who cares..except myabe they thought there might be fights about stuff like booze & cigs. I am sure it is not a health concern. the meds they are maybe checking so no one brings in drugs , again, that my be a prelude to out of control behavior. I am sure they must have insulin and basic meds at the dome.
