FAQs

What is the policy technique used here?

Extension by analogy: once a strict control is defined for medicine, the same control is applied to beverages and water without restating the full procedure.

Why equate water with medicine in security protocol?

Because both are direct ingestion vectors; water is a high-frequency, low-suspicion channel for poisoning.
