You should be paid for all time spent under the direct control of the employer. If there is a security check to exit the building, you should be paid for that time, as the security check is not optional and the time is not yours to do with as you please.
In the same logic, if there is inadequate access to the exiting streets, and there is a 5 minute backlog to get out of the parking lot, that time is not paid.
Then again, if Amazon's (or whomsoevers) argument is that the security checks are not an essential part of the worker's duties, then the workers should be able to bypass the security checks.
