@CustomsBorder @jack @sarahkendzior @facebook sidd is an IRL friend of mine. campmate @burningman he's family. this is as real as it gets.

@nickisnpdx @flyingcircuits As frustrating as this is, there apparently is a border exemption to the 4th amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception …

@rocketrepreneur @flyingcircuits thank u for that link Jonathan. i didn't know that info.

@nickisnpdx @flyingcircuits Neither did I this morning. I was going to say something ignorant on Twitter then decided to look it up first...

@rocketrepreneur @nickisnpdx @flyingcircuits but when you use Wikipedia as your source you don't look very credible

@brittanyalisha @nickisnpdx @flyingcircuits It was a quick check (mostly to make sure I had the right amendment number), not legal research.

@brittanyalisha @nickisnpdx @flyingcircuits I'm a space robotics entrepreneur, not a lawyer or policy wonk.

@nickisnpdx He is a citizen. How can this be justified even under the restrictions as they stood at the time? Shameful.

@nomilubin @nickisnpdx CBP had this authority a long time in the US Code. They just appear to be channeling their inner Gestapo right now.

@nomilubin @nickisnpdx CBP has for many years been authorized by Cong & Sup Ct with absurd power to search citizens, even 100mi from border.

@ArthurOtkeKeim @nomilubin @nickisnpdx yeah... "border patrol" chckpts on I10 that stop cars & threaten you if you take pix

@elliferg @nomilubin @nickisnpdx Plus Arivaca, AZ and all the stuff that border patrol has been doing there for years.

@ArthurOtkeKeim @elliferg @nomilubin @nickisnpdx none of this is under that law. Checkpoints and entries totally different law.

@TheBryantFox @elliferg @nomilubin @nickisnpdx So? I didn't say it was. My point is CBP is terrible to citizens and has been for ages.
