A better name would be "4th Amendment Free Zone" but they're going for as much shock value as possible.
The crux is DHS announcing they can have border agents search anyone without probable cause 100 miles inland from the border.
It's one of those legal issues where the executive crosses the line and it takes about five years for a case to wind its way up to the Supreme Court and sanity to be restored in a ruling overturning the daft policy.
Apparently it's happened in California; federal agents were just pulling people over and searching the cars over objections.
