> The US Coast Guard intercepted Reza Baluchi about 70 miles (110km) off Tybee Island

Was he carried here by the current ? I can't imagine this device can really be efficient, am I wrong ?

That's outside US territorial waters? What authority the USCG has there commanding stupid person to get in line?

Or should this be read as "70m away from Tybee Island, but still near the coast"?
