Is this as wild as it seems? It sounds like a free for all in terms of getting communications data from all US residents. I hope it's clear what "between Americans and foreigners overseas" means and that it doesn't include simply messages going through a foreign server at some point or something like that.

It means any outbound request that is destined for a non-US IP address.

That is exactly what this is about. And no, the distinction isn't clear/made.
