PS: The train from San Diego to the border crosses into the "forbidden zone", does CBP ask for riders to prove their citizenship? Or is it only people who drive in the zone?
NRR, Your question brings to mind the case of Deborah Davis.
The bus she rode to work crosses the property of the Denver Federal Center, a collection of government offices such as the Veterans Administration, the U.S. Geological Survey, and part of the National Archives. The Denver Federal Center is not a high security area: it's not Area 51 or NORAD.
One day commuting to work by bus, the bus stopped at the gates of the Denver Federal Center. A security guard got on and demanded that all of the passengers on this public bus produce ID. She refused.
The cops shoved her out of the bus, handcuffed her, threw her into the back seat of a police cruiser.
I think the ACLU took her case and won. The police ID request was little more than an obedience test.
