A Bloomberg article used a map that showed the Customs and Patrol 100 mile border zone based on the US coastline (blue dash). CFR 287(a) defines the 100 mile zone from the US External Boundary (I plotted in red). My map shows a much smaller zone. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... - ThreadSky

I’m pretty sure their range extends to all international airports as well. The vast vast majority of the population lives in civil rights exempt zones.

Airports and international mail facilities are functional equivalent borders (FEB), but they do not fall under the definition of the external boundary. It’s a question whether or not an FEB (interior to the US) also gets a 100-mile zone around it. I hope not. I contacted author of article with Qs.

isn’t the Chesapeake bay within the borders of the untied states?

Shouldn’t the 100 miles start at the Delmarva ?

dreamingbeetle.bsky.social•36 days ago

According to CFR 287.1(a) the border starts 12 nautical miles off the coast where international waters start. The Bloomberg article counts the coastline all the way up the CBay and into the James River! My map starts 12 miles offshore and uses ESRI’s US Territorial Sea Boundary data set.

appreciate the knowledge! Because that makes a huge difference for me personally. I’m 150 miles from Rheboth but 75 from the bay. (Give or take)
