  • Yes but the 100 mile rule does not apply to air ports. The exception stops at the point of entry and domestic flights are exempt from the border exceptions because people do not go through customs.

    § 287.1 Definitions. (a)

    (1) External boundary. The term external boundary, as used in section 287(a)(3) of the Act, means the land boundaries and the territorial sea of the United States extending 12 nautical miles from the baselines of the United States determined in accordance with international law.

    (2) Reasonable distance. The term reasonable distance, as used in section 287(a) (3) of the Act, means within 100 air miles from any external boundary of the United States or any shorter distance which may be fixed by the chief patrol agent for CBP, or the special agent in charge for ICE, or, so far as the power to board and search aircraft is concerned any distance fixed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section.






  • I get what you are saying and I know I am being that guy but there has been a lot of historical inaccuracies that continue to this day in your post.

    Whatt you mean by better. Doctrinally I’d say the allies were may more advanced. German vehicles (including planes)broke down more required way more labor to repair. In fact most of the german army was horse drawn. Most German “wonder weapons” had huge glaring downsides that made them impractical and as you pointed out were fielded in small numbers because it was a lot of last ditch not ready or well thought out things. German jets could not stay in the air long. And if we look at non jets German planes arguably were worse than allied fighters. P-47 did better at higher altitude had an easier time to kill other fighters due to armament of its german counter parts and could take a beating like a redheaded stepchild the likes of which would destroy German fighters.

    German tanks broke down a lot and could not move great distances. On the subject of tanks, sherman’s were not ment to fight tanks this was before the USA adopted the main battle tank. But they could go farther and faster on the same amount of tread of a German tank and had comparable armor to a tiger due to armor slope. Just didn’t have the gun the german tanks had.

    Meanwhile allied advancements in tech were way less showy. Radio communication advancements, time on target math, radar, gyro stabilized turrets, proximity fueses… I could go on for example US artillery was just leagues faster than Germany could ever hope to be.




  • They did not lose the law suit but they were going to. They settled instead. A defamation lawsuit is easy to defend against if you have not blatantly lied, but it was so clear they lied they knew they had no chance. I believe they settled for the biggest monetary settlement ever for defamation. I also believe that’s why they let Tucker Carlson go.
