I agree the workers should get paid for the security check, but this doesn't seem like a good example. it takes me half an hour to shower and get dressed for work in the morning. should I get paid for that time? does it change anything if I drive to work in my pajamas and shower/dress on premises?

Showering is a routine thing, not required by your job (well it is kinda required, you can't stink the office but..). My example was makeup required for work, say a clown or actor.

Exactly. Like, you arrive at the door at 9am, clock in, and then go to the person doing the make up. Because the makeup (similar to costume), is something very specific to your job.

Showering and putting on regular clothes is something you would do for getting off your house, independently of what you do. Clown make up is specific to your job

As long as you get dressed back in your pajamas when you leave, ;)
