This has always bothered me: if it's a "no-man's land", then the situation is symmetrical: they have no rights either. Has this ever been tested in court?

- joezydeco 13y agoIt's not symmetrical at all. The border patrol and homeland security are charged with defending the borders of the USA. You, as a traveller approaching the border, are physically on USA soil interacting with government agents/citizens but in the eyes of the government you have not entered the USA yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception
