“Most people” seems like a bit of a stretch...

  65.3 percent live within the border zone.

  Not at all[0]. The continental coastline is an "external boundary". [0]: https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone

    When you get technical about this 100 miles from every international airport is a border as well... How does that impact that map ?
    • TomMarius 8y ago
      There is no actual country border at any airport. It's an approximation that has its own rules and is not affected by the international treaty that sets these 100 miles.
      • taejo 8y ago
        The 100 miles have nothing to do with international treaty, but only American courts' interpretation of the fourth amendment.
        • TomMarius 8y ago
          Isn't that based on the treaty? Sorry if I'm mistaken.
          • taejo 8y ago
            I'm not sure which treaty you're thinking of, but I'm pretty certain it's a purely domestic matter. Note that we're talking about 100 miles inland from the border, not something like 100 miles out to sea.
            • TomMarius 8y ago
              Yeah, that's my mistake. I thought we're talking out, not in.

  The "most people" actually comes from the part he left out... it's not just 100 miles from any border, it's 100 miles from any international airport, which does include most people.

    IIRC the "100 miles from an airport" part was requested/proposed but never actually happened (presumably because the FBI gang didn't want the CBP gang on it's turf).
  • angry_octet 8y ago
    No, an intl airport is a point of entry, but not a border.
    • bonestamp2 8y ago
      True, but it looks like the "100 miles from an airport" part of the law was not enacted after all. My mistake.
