Legally the Fourth Amendment probably does not apply.
Constitutional protections are provided only within US jurisdiction. If you are a US citizen outside of US jurisdiction, then the government isn't required to extend those protections to you.
The lack of spying on US citizens outside of US borders is more of a courtesy - the government doesn't yet consider it worth rolling the Supreme Court dice.

The most restrictive requirement seen in courts appears to be a "reasonableness" requirement judging by the totality of the circumstances involved: http://www.volokh.com/posts/1227548515.shtml http://www.volokh.com/posts/1227548515.shtml
