I think they already do it... They park a spy ship off Cape Canaveral all the time.. And you can come with 30 miles of shore, that is Shuttle Exclusion zone. I use to go out and fish right next to them. Would piss them off seeing all the girls on deck in skimpy bikinis'.<gg>

I don't think either of them are capable of surveillance flights near US mainland. They just don't have the mid-air tankers to support the planes. Plus their equipment is still archaic. Won't be in a few years since Clinton sold us out though.

We can't push international waters out that far from coasts.. It would add to many miles to shipping routes and close a lot of them because some places are not far enough apart to keep routes open between land masses. The 12 mile limit never had anything to do with spying, just coastal control I imagine.
