Answer
A SLR camera is a Single Lens Reflex camera which is a high quality camera, typically 6+ megapixels, which often have detachable lenses. They're characterized by a prism in the camera body which allows the photographer to see through the lens and preview exactly what the camera will take. The "reflex" is the action of moving the mirror below the prism out of the way so the light can pass through to the film or optical sensor.
My guess is that the promoters are hoping to prevent folks from taking pictures of sufficient quality to be sold but also allow ordinary picture takers to take "snapshots" while at the event. An example of an SLR camera is the Canon Rebel EOS. Such cameras would be hard to hide on one's body.
An example of a non-SLR camera is anything from a $10 disposable film camera to something like the Nikon Coolpix line of cameras. These are smaller. Current digital cameras can be as small or smaller than a pack of playing cards.
Your second question is a legal one I'm not qualified to answer. However, packages being brought in certainly can (and likely will) be searched and security might do more extensive searching if they suspect criminal activity. But that's just a guess on my part.

A QUESTION ABOUT SECURITY CAMERAS!?
Abc D
Why are thier quality so bad?
I mean if its like at least 5 megapixel you can at least see the robbers face clearly and all hes wearing.
but security cameras are fuzzy, sometimes black and white, and blurry?
I mean whouldnt it be much easier to get a better quality camera?
Answer
Cheapo crap camera plugged into VCR: $100
High Quality CCTV system: $3,000
Both have the same deterrent value, and neither has the ability to see through a ski mask. Who is going to spend $5,000 on security equipment that can be defeated by a $15 purchase?
$100 is a sound investment, but the $5,000 camera is not 50 times more likely to prevent a robbery. And neither the $100 camera nor the $5000 is likely to actually get back the $300 stolen from the cash register.
Eh, my solution if I am setting this up: Get a crappy used computer, a high-quality webcam ($50), a long USB chord ($50) so the computer can be kept hidden in a file cabinet or something. Set it to record 24/7, and delete older recordings automatically when space needs to be freed. Just as cheap, deters just as much, and has quality similar to the $3000 system.
