and worse, it technically includes all ports. which could basically mean radii around every international airport.
when i first learned about this, I scared my lawyer girlfriend about it and she helped me look into the actual court cases. they have been somewhat difficult to hold up. usually because LO abuses the rules by not following the three terms listed above. and it still takes getting all the way to Supreme Court which is a massive drain on resources for those typically affected by this.
What? That doesn't make any sense. Constitutional rights don't apply anywhere outside the border as far as I know. In this context, the area can only extend inside. Or do I misunderstand your comment?
I always knew that the US considered a 100 mile radius outside of our borders (specifically marine regions) as part of our borders and that it's basically de-facto "US territory". This is only a dim memory from reading about various stories from the "drug war."
The thing is, the bill of rights doesnt say anything about that. It says "the government shall not", and it seems to me any sane interpretation would say it applies wherever the government is active and claiming jurisdiction.
