No one tell them about international airports...
They have a point though. Technically from what I've read just living near an airport would give ICE the authority to search your phone and anything else you might be carrying if it's within a certain mile radius. Even if you aren't using the port of entry (airport for instance). Regardless of whether or not they have any other form of probable cause.
I don't understand how others don't understand that. Because it's a hell of a conclusion to come to.
It's 100 miles. They claim 100 miles from the boarder and now "the board" is including international airports.
