Well, I think any system they put in place will be useless without enforcement. I mean, it can't get much clearer than a single letter rating, followed by a brief description of the content (Drug use, sexual content, etc). It's incumbent on the theaters to ask for id, and prevent people who shouldn't be in there from getting in there.
