Should Amazon be able to require 2 hour employee meetings every week, off the clock?

It's not a straw man argument. The point is where do you draw the line? The argument about whither or not Amazon should have such security measures in place is a different argument or discussion. (Personally, I wouldn't want to work for such a company).
According to the line drawn by the law (i.e. work related tasks) a 2 hour employee meeting would be on the clock. In this specific case, I think that anyone who exits that area, be they employee or not, has to go through the security check point, thus it's not actually work related.
