Trapping Rows With Truncated Columns

I am writing a package where, at one step, I need to copy data from a source with text columns of 150 characters to a destination with matching text columns of only 60 characters. The data present in the source is all less than 60 characters in length, but if this changes in the future and data begins to be truncated, I want to be informed of this.

This raises two problems. First, because I'm not pre-emptively truncating the columns, my Data Flow Destination allows shows a validation warning. Is there any way I can tell SSIS "I know that data might be truncated, but I want to deal with that at run-time, not as design-time"?

Second, I'm not sure how to pass myself a notification using the options provided by Error Output on the Data Flow Destination. Fail Component would allow me to alter the control flow, but I would prefer not to have the process fail utterly because of one truncated record. I'm not sure if Ignore Failure will simply omit the row that would be truncated (not an acceptable solution) or truncate the data (could work temporarily, but I still need to be warned). Redirect Row is appealing but has a different problem - if I redirect the error/truncated rows to a separate table, that Data Flow Task no longer fails, which means I have no way to raise a notification.

Is there a better way to do this? The only option I can think is to do Redirect Row, and then have the next step in the Control Flow be a script that checks for the presence of records in my error table, and send a notification if there are, but that seems unnecessarily circuituous. Is there a way in SSIS to arbitrarily send a Failure message if a given step is hit (possibly with Events), or is that case reserved strictly for halting failures?
