Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

During these days It has been really cold and almost everyone has been wearing sweaters and sweatshirts. Today I was wearing my sweatshirt and on top of that my regular company shirt. When I was leaving I had the shirt off and when I got to the door I was told to take off my sweatshirt. They are doing to everyone but they are doing this to see if any employee is stealing something. I got nothing to hide but ain't this illegal to be telling me I cant leave unless I take of my sweatshirt. Aren't they invading my privacy.
