You're underselling that one, because they count the coastline as a "border":

> the border zone is home to 65.3 percent of the entire U.S. population

Also, international airports. 100 miles around Denver, Atlanta, or Dallas covers a lot of people.

Do they actually ever use it? I know it theoretically means that CBP can search anyone’s home in NYC without a warrant, but if they never actually do it, they might get shot down in the courts if they ever try.

Jeeze there is a lot of confusion about the 100 mile thing.

No, they can’t stop you for no reason.

No, they can’t search you without cause or a warrant.

Right, except not being white or having an accent is a reason enough to be stopped.

Well of course they can, it’s just legal.

And odd example to pick since it seems like he was a suspect in smuggling? That alone is enough to detain anyone.

Is that one of those "in theory they can't, but in reality they do" things?
