I'm not sure how it is at the other FL (only two others at the time in the US, IIRC), but alcohol is one of the things (besides boxes with blinking lights) that Ma$$holes are the most paranoid about, so I imagine they've realized that nobody cares.
Or maybe they just figure that the chance of someone underage and not with a parent being there in the first place is incredibly remote, I'm not sure.
