But the idea that I would not have my constitutional rights vis a vis American law enforcement (FBI) just because I was on vacation in Germany is so wrong.

Why should the Germans honor the U.S Constitution? It ends at our borders.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Your constitutional rights don’t travel with you. Germans arrested in the US do get our constitutional protections. Americans arrested in Germany are tried in German courts under German laws. It’s just the way it works.
