Huh? What? I've been gone all day. Maybe I'll look into it when I get bored. Then again, I really don't see how the line you posted necessarily excludes US citizens. There really doesn't need to be anything about US citizens specifically written because, as the US government, they have a great deal of control over the citizens. However, arresting and detaining a foreign national is a lot trickier since there are special ways of dealing with foreign criminals (generally through some sort of consulate). Putting specific wording into a bill would eliminate that hassle.
