Fourth Amendment? What Fourth Amendment?
FYI - by the 100 mile logic, San Diego falls squarely within the Fourth Amendment does-not-apply-here zone, as does Seattle (if you find the closest border line with Canada at the Strait of Juan de Fuca).

"DHS Watchdog OKs ‘Suspicionless’ Seizure of Electronic Devices Along Border
BY DAVID KRAVETS02.08.131:20 PM
The Department of Homeland Security’s civil rights watchdog has concluded that travelers along the nation’s borders may have their electronics seized and the contents of those devices examined for any reason whatsoever - all in the name of national security."
"The President George W. Bush administration first announced the suspicionless, electronics search rules in 2008. The President Barack Obama administration followed up with virtually the same rules a year later. Between 2008 and 2010, 6,500 persons had their electronic devices searched along the U.S. border, according to DHS data.
According to legal precedent, the Fourth Amendment - the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures - does not apply along the border. By the way, the government contends the Fourth-Amendment-Free Zone stretches 100 miles inland from the nation’s actual border."
