Checking Teenager's Bags

I met a friend of mine yesterday and she was telling me that her daughter (14) is going to a 15th birthday party this evening. The kids have all been told that their bags will be checked on the way in for vodka disguised in water bottles

Do you think this is a good idea or do you think it is a "violation of their rights" for want of a better phrase?

I'm always reading about teenage parties and I know how difficult it must be to police them.

Obviously there is also a big difference between 14/15 year olds and 17/18 year olds so I guess you wouldn't do it at an older teenager's party.

I would be really grateful for your opinions Smile

When I entered Universal Studios and Disney in February I have my bags checked every single day. It wasn't a violation of my rights then either. I knew it would happen and I made a choice to still go, knowing those rules.
