Best Answer

It means that the employer identifies and acts on the differences among workers when making employment decisions. Factors like skill, education, attendance, personality, intelligence, and seniority can be given any weight the employer wants. Such discrimination is legal and useful.

Race, sex, age, religion, disability, veteran status, union membership, and bankruptcy can be given zero weight in employment decisions by employers of 15 or more. That is illegal discrimination.

Is the physical measurements required for security guards amounts to discrimination against those who do not meet these requirements?

No. There are all kinds of jobs that have physical requirements because that is what is required to do the job.
