Regarding the 100 mile zone around the border:
and that number goes up significantly if you consider an international airport a “border”
I saw someone also mention “waterways” in another thread as being subject to this. If that means navigable rivers like the Mississippi, etc., then between coasts, land borders, airports, and waterways, it’s probably most of the US.
