There's a very extensive body of caselaw, US and otherwise, holding
that air and sea vessels are effectively the sovereign territory of the
country from which they originate / in which they are registered, for
the purposes of law enforcement when it comes to international waters
and airspace.  E.g., you can't avoid U.S. prosecution for murder by
waiting until you're outside U.S. airspace or waters to kill someone on
a U.S Airways flight or a Carnival Cruise ship.  Sorry.
