We really should ban phones at events like concerts and parties, where people don't want to be recorded, people on their phones dull the vibe...
A mayoral inauguration? Personally I wouldn't ban it, but like rPIs, I don't see why it's a big deal either way. Your event, your rules (within reason).

If your walking stick looks like it will be used as a weapon then you can safely assume you’ll have it removed upon entry.
Events like these will have disclaimers like “admittance is subject to the discretion of our security staff”.
The point of the list of prohibited items is to make it easier for attendees to know the kinds of items theyre allowed to bring. What it isn’t, is an exhaustive list of anything that could be used for bad intentions.
