I think /u/ReptileMan is talking more about situations like border crossings, where the Border Patrol claims some rights don't apply because you haven't been granted entry yet, even though you're technically on US soil.

There are also questions about scenarios like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki, where a US citizen was executed by the US without trial while overseas.
