They have been used against US citizens in the United States? That is news to me.
If they have been used in other countries against US diplomatic corps that is an act of war.
Now if a US citizen uses a visit to a foreign country to protest against a government they’re on their own. I’m sorry, but US citizens shouldn’t be engaging in that and the US state department has no obligation to protect that condition.
