Must be more than just the "selling" because a co-worker of mine 
spent about 2 hours in a small room for having two packs of gum (one 
for each direction on the plane-ride back and forth), after which 
both packs were confiscated from him.

That certainly seems to warn against "possession", which would 
(transitively) prevent "consumption". :)

But regardless of the semantics of the argument, the point is the same. :)
