Oh sorry, I have the wrong polarity here:

"not US citizen" on "not US soil" is what I meant.

Sorry for the firestorm this created!

What I mean to say is that the USA INTENTIONALLY violates rights of people outside the USA, expressed in things like the Patriot Act re:wiretapping, and also the spaces between passport control where they say "USA laws don't apply, our agents have purview to do essentially anything". If you check the discussions in the 00s about this the fed govt was very dicey and you can tell they were chomping at the bit to be able to have essentially NO OVERSIGHT on any of these massive violations of people's rights.

I'll take the karma hit, there is no way to edit it apparently. Sorry!
