I don't see much that is crazy in this list, especially for an assembly line. Over 20 years ago I worked in the office part of a manufacturing plant in the aerospace industry. No food or drink was allowed on the plant floor. Flat leather lace up shoes only were allowed on the plant floor - if you worked in the office and wore heels, you had to change shoes to go on the floor. Bags were checked by security as we entered and exited the building every day. You better be there on time every day! Many of the same rules that were implemented on the floor were applied in the office areas "just because". Bells went off to signal beginning and end of lunch time and break times. Working at a desk and needing to be on the phone with other offices, sometimes I was late going to lunch. Some people thought that I still should return to my desk at the end of my designated lunch time, didn't matter if I had just left my desk 3 minutes earlier.

Many states are have "employment at will" - meaning the employer you can fire you for any or no reason at all. They don't have to give a reason.
