A client company, in an effort to improve the security of their non-regulated testing process, is considering doing observed collection or stripping-into-a-gown collections for all prehire employees.  Their workers are not performing highly sensitive duties.  I expressed concern that this may constitute undue invasion of privacy, thus exposing them to liability issues.  It certainly is in excess of federal regulations.  Opinions?
