Don't forget that CBP has essentially unlimited vehicle search authority within 100 miles of federal borders. Two thirds of the US population live within that zone. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone Imagine living in NYC, hopping on a subway car to go to work from your apartment in the Bronx, and getting stopped/searched by CBP, agents seizing your cell phone and laptop, and demanding your social media account passwords and threatening to detain you if you don't comply: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/02/give-us-your-passwords/516315/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/02/give-... https://www.wired.com/2017/02/guide-getting-past-customs-digital-privacy-intact/ https://www.wired.com/2017/02/guide-getting-past-customs-dig... It's fucking insane that US citizens are now advised to make sure a family member, friend, or attorney is aware of you traveling across a US border in case you're detained. This country just keeps slipping further and further towards fascism.

>It's fucking insane that US citizens are now advised to make sure a family member, friend, or attorney is aware of you traveling across a US border in case you're detained. You have always been advised to leave emergency contact information with someone when traveling abroad, and also to register with the US embassy at your destination if it's an extended stay. Most people don't bother because usually nothing happens and they come back in one piece, but who knows if some deity of the day decided that this was your turn to get fucked, after all? This is all just long standing common sense grounded in practical reality.
