Pretty scary stuff. The one thing that strikes me though:
"If passengers are deemed to be inadmissible, they have no constitutional

because they are deemed to be still outside the U.S., from a legal point
of view."
Foreign citizens don't have Constitutional rights.
Yeah, I wondered about that. I would assume that if I were travelling
through the US (well, not me, since I'm a citizen, but a non-citizen) then
the basic rights of US citizens would be extended as a gesture of
friendship to other countries (plus it would show citizens of more
oppressive countries how great the US was.)
