I consider stop-and-frisk to be in direct volition with the fourth amendment. Boarder control is a little different. I have the intention of extending these rights to all humans, so the boarder shouldn't change the rights of humans. Becoming aware of substance abuse (while say operating a vehicle) has potential for being "reasonable cause" for search... Though I'm not sure I'd entirely buy it. I'm convinced that since citizens don't know their rights, that the government doesn't think we care about them, and uses that against us when we try defending them. It's the idea of... If you don't use them, you lose them.

The US is unusual in having Boarder control, Winter Sports resorts elsewhere don't place any restrictions on what kind of equipment you are allowed to use.

If you don't use them, you lose them. Alternatively, some people are willing to give up some rights for a feeling of security. Or some people are willing to curtail some rights because it hurts people they don't like a lot more than it hurts them. Or some people imagine gutting rights they don't regularly seem to need will never come back to bite them. People aren't going to defend things they don't care about. Or some people seem to imagine that if a certain right doesn't seem to benefit them directly that it's not worthwhile to defend. Or some people seem to think that maintaining the status quo is a right that they need to defend, no matter how many people are harmed by the inequality in the current landscape. I mean you're not wrong. But that's certainly not the only issue issue causing the erosion of liberty.
