What about the 5th Amendment? Does a U.S. citizen retain his constitutional protections when he is outside of U.S. jurisdiction? SCOTUS decided in several citizenship cases that the U.S. could not deny citizenship in various circumstances to individuals who were not present in the U.S. at the time, but does that inherently mean that those people had constitutional protection while abroad? I don’t know.

AMENDMENT V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
