   I thought this was already allowed and the norm for many years?

      You are right. What most people don’t understand however is that “the border” extends for 100 miles

      <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aclu.org&#x2F;know-your-rights&#x2F;border-zone" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aclu.org&#x2F;know-your-rights&#x2F;border-zone

      This effectively means border patrol can do whatever they want in areas that do not involve a border crossing and involve citizens just living their normal lives

         Note also that that 100 miles _is a radius around your nearest international airport_ and need not be what you think of as a border, i.e. a line drawn between two land masses.

            Please cite a reputable source for this claim. Preferably a SCOTUS ruling.
