I commented on this elsewhere, but that is not legally possible due to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Unconsented physical searches of US persons, for the purposes of obtaining foreign intelligence and/or counterintelligence, has to be ordered by the FISC. Recent examples of this taking place can be seen with Carter Page, Michael Flynn, and I guess even the President.
EO 12333 is really just saying that IF these searches are to take place in the US, only the FBI has the authority to conduct the activity. They still have to follow other laws, policies, and procedures that exist.
