And there is also no reason to comply with their request to unlock your devices.
You've really not understood.
You're statement here essentially says it's legal for them to just murder you in the border area because you refuse to allow them access to your device.
Um, duh. They CAN shoot you for that. And they've been known to do so for far less. You are acting as if you think this is not true, when it should be obvious that it IS true.
Why do you think it should be obvious that it IS true? I've not traveled the mexico / us border and likely never will. Why should something you believe as obvious, should be obvious to me?
It's obvious because we already established that you have NO rights in the border zone. None. There is no law. So given that we had established that and that you had acknowledged it would you then think that this one law would exist in the absence of all others?
But you are missing the fact that this is a lawless land! Why would a new law requiring a warrant some how be supported in a place where no law prevails?

Because the people with the guns there are on the job and don't want to be barred from re-entry to the US. Their co-workers would shoot them or arrest them. And once dragged back across a border, would go to jail.
This really is just basic border stuff. Think about who has the guns, how they got there and where they will go. There is no food, shelter, water or anything in the border zone. It's just several feet of distance in many cases. So laws applying to people that will take effect on re-entry are a big deal.
-
And the point of the new legislation is that the law will be extended into the border zone, changing the lawless state.

I disagree, I think this no-mans-land should be a free for all.
No reason to need to warrant to get people to unlock any electronics in their possession.
Just shoot em in the face if they don't unlock the device at request. Nuff said. And if they shoot back we get a new "western movie" out of it.

The 'border zone' is currently 100 or 200(cant remember) miles from the border. So most americans can be searched without warrant. That is why a law like this should be passed.

It is 100 miles, assuming you are referring to this.

But what the originally linked article is talking about is the port of entry and border crossings. not the border zone.

All of Rochester would be considered in the border zone according to that map.
I guess I get to deal with random search and seizures by CBP agents.

Not legally.

I know, just in regards to the way that CBP agents are portrayed.
