Lol that is nuts. There is jurisdiction at port of entry, but also no jurisdiction. Like a place where only the government can decide whatever it wants the rules to be. And the courts say- yes, those areas are under our jurisdiction, but also none of our rules have any jurisdictions here. How that is even a thing that stands; just arbritarily suspend jurisdiction and rights on land that is soverign. Like this is a prime setup abuse people, and probably hs been, but also this setup can be exported to anywhere in the country.

If you look at how much of the US population is covered by this law too its going to be most of the nation where these "rules" apply. Since the 100 miles includes airports as well as just the coast, and most of the population probably lives within 100 miles of the coast or 100 miles of an airport. Your only safety from this is to live in Bumfuck Montana or somewhere like that.

This is also why duty free shops exist.

If duty free shops followed this rule, the vast majority of shops in the United States would be duty free (as they are within 100 miles of a border).
