This will be my first Bonnaroo this summer.
What can I expect from security? What is the best way to smuggle stuff in?

Pack anything illegal FIRST. Pack all of your gear on top and in front of it. Don't bring in glass bottles, they're very strict about it.

I know they are searching my car, that much I am sure of. Will they look through my stuff and will any drug dogs be there?

dude.. the extent of them looking through your stuff is them checking in the back seat through the window. if they see a cooler, they might open it to make sure you don't have any glass bottles. just don't keep your drugs on the dashboard and you'll be fine.

There were police searching cars at random when I was going in last year. They would take one car, search it and when they were done, grab another one. It took them awhile though, so you have a good chance of getting through. The volunteers who search your car barely search at all. They ask you if you have any glass or weapons. They will ask you to open your coolers most likely. I saw the cops making people unpack their tents. Prepare for the worst, but chances are the search will be so light it really isn't even considered a search. They have a ton of cars and they want to keep the line moving.

they search through your car like someone who has searched through 5000 cars already that day.
Put yourself in their situation, you got a constant stream of already drunk/tripping/excited 18-30 year olds going straight fucking nuts because Bonnaroo is so close it is giving them a hard on.... think after car 5,004 you really give a fuck if they are bringing in a bag of weed and some pills? at that point, I wouldnt care if they are bringing in slave labor and black market organs.

My friend has 2 handicap parking spots and they are letting us in very early so I doubt they will search us at all. Apparently we will be getting our pick of spots

Haha. She had a service dog with her last year, with all the necessary papers, and she got hassled a lot by the Roo workers. She wrote a letter after the festival and they gave her a handicap pass which allows a companion vehicle. It's gonna be great
