The court ruled that a lower standard applies to manual searches, allowing the government to conduct extraordinarily invasive electronic device searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing, simply because the border officer chooses to search by hand rather than with a forensic tool.
It’s something I heard for a long time too. That’s why I was confused by the map I posted and googled why no map showed the airports zones. It turned out to be a myth and the area outside of international airports doesn’t count.
Im looking over the scotus 1973 and whats funny is they did not allow a warrantless search even within the 100 mile border. Which is odd given ice just tossing private homes in chicago with no warrant.
do you have a link to what google said because I have seen this for a long time. Its not like something mentioned once recently in articles.
