The Supreme Court of the United States has issued a unanimous decision that security screenings after the work day, regardless of the amount of time they take to perform, do not qualify for remuneration. The decision focuses on the Portal-To-Portal Act of 1947 which defines a workday that specifically excludes those activities "incidental" to an employee's primary responsibilities.

    As Stephen Colbert (and perhaps others) likes to point out, reality has a Liberal bias.
    The majority of folks are egalitarian and in favor of mostly-unconstricted civil liberties.
    (You might investigate Ralph Nader's Left-Right Alliance.
    He has e.g. Grover Norquist onboard.)

    If just -those- folks would suit up and show up, things could get better rapidly.
    N.B. The turnout in November was 36 percent of registered voters (and only 70 percent of those eligible actually register).

    Those folks will also have to stop consuming Lamestream Media and get their information ONLY from outlets that do NOT take money from corporations and/or billionaires.

    Come to think of it, yeah, getting people off their couches surely does look like a pipe dream.
