When you say that, do you mean:

   * that statement / requirment is illegal (or not supported by (US?) law)
or
   * as a practical manner, somehow you don't think such actions could be

or
   * something else (e.g., maybe that requirement is supported by US law, but 
could be done in some other country where it is not illegal?

Thanks!
