I am far from being a legal scholar, so if someone could clear up this point for me , I would appreciate it. Where , geographically speaking , are US Citizens protected by the Constitution?. Point being that if these interceptions are occurring outside of the boundaries of the US , is there an infraction?

To answer your question, a citizen of the U.S. is always a U.S. person no matter where they are and would be provided constitutional protections in dealings with our government but other nations (for obvious reasons) are not bound to "give us our rights".
