Where does it say that?

The 1947 Portal-to-Portal Act -- an update of 1938’s Fair Labor Standards Act, which established a minimum wage and overtime requirements -- says employers aren’t required to compensate workers for time spent getting to and from their workstations. In 1956, the Supreme Court said workers had to be paid for time spent changing in and out of protective gear at a car-battery manufacturing plant -- ruling that workers are entitled to compensation for “integral and indispensable” activities occurring just before or after the work shift.

Since the security checks were mandatory for continued employment, then they should be done on company time. But obviously, you and SCOTUS see it differently than the 9th Circuit and myself. It's a matter of interpretation. Anyway, we're done discussing this since neither of us will change our position on this issue.
Thanks for playing.
