I figured Customs and TSA were independent (I had not actually considered TSA to be in this at all). It still says U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Department of Homeland Security runs the US CBP.
To me, this still means that they are US Government employees and should be subject to US laws- giving those wishing to enter the USA the same protections granted in the Bill of Rights. CBP agents are paid by the US Government. If CBP is not giving these entities these rights, then aren't these agents being paid to deny these these entities' rights?
A weak argument at best, since we can't define where US soil begins. Regardless, they are agents of the United States government and everything the USA stand for.
This next statement might be something I would read on "Things not in the US Constitution.com" but I swore there was a written law that states the US Government cannot take away these rights from people.
