It's good that Greyhound Lines bus company has announced it will no longer allow Customs and Border Patrol agents to search its buses without warrant (which it has been allowing for the past three years). Greyhound's new policy applies to its terminals and offices as well.
But I want to know what took them so damned long for something so obvious.
They've been challenged by the ACLU and others based on the Fourth Amendment (duh) and are being sued in California on the grounds that they were violating consumer protection laws.
If you were on a bus and government agents randomly boarded and asked everyone for their papers... what country would you think you were in? Up until 2017, I would have said something in the Eastern Block, pre-1990.
