That people are not required to be paid for activities that are required of them is a joke. Exactly where the setup is might vary, but there definitely is a sad punchline at the end. Reading through the ruling was interesting, and definitely helped me to decide that the problem wasn't with the Supreme Court's decision, but with the poor protections in place on the Portal-to-Portal Act. I hold with the moral statement that actions performed by the employee, and required by the employer, must be compensated. Since the security screenings were mandatory, it is immoral for the employees not to be compensated.
