Contents of Warrant for RNC "Food not Bombs" Raid

I retyped one of the warrants from a picture, so check original if something does not seem correct. I am shocked on how many ordinary items were on the list and how incredibly comprehensive the list is. Yet there is no request for drugs, for guns or for dynamite - why not? If one expected true danger, then why not look for those as well?
