Actually, they have the authority, to determine that it doesn't contain WEI, not "to determine that it is, in fact, medicine".

If they have to open the container to determine that it doesn't contain WEI, so be it, but they don't have to determine that "it is, in fact, medicine", just that it doesn't contain WEI. @:-)
