Does the 100 miles apply to ocean borders too? If so, that puts entire cities like NYC, SF, LA, etc. right within this exclusion zone.



It is worth knowing that this map is intended to illustrate the absurdity of a specific (old) statement from DHS. It is almost definitely not the case that living in NYC puts you at risk of arbitrary border searches; among other things, SCOTUS has specifically said it doesn't.


I guess it just applies to folks in the south west, hundreds of miles from the border.
