What kind of due process you get depends on your money, and that is bad. In particular people rot in jail for months and years on much smaller bails until they just take the plea deal.
And about passport checks I repeated the NPR as I have no first hand experience with private jet :)
Problem isn’t that rich people have it better, the problem is that poor people have it much worse.

We should have "public service" for lawyers. Every defence attorney needs to 2 months of every year defending poor people.
Customs checks hardly affect regular people. Security checks are an optional service you can pay for, but probably won’t bother if it’s your own plane and isn’t full of hundreds of random people. Rich people still have passport checks, they just pay the government to send the passport control people to their private terminal (which is no different than how regular privately owned commercial airports work)
It’s all exactly the same, except as a rich person you’re far more likely to be picked for a customs check.

due process bad!
