Part of the reason the FBI amongst others holds meetings overseas at US embassies with blacklisted US persons is to reduce the independent/target's own recording opportunities. Disrupting recordings made is also within the technological reach of the NSA, for recording or recording storage devices that are online and/or have online connectivity features.
It's also on U.S. turf and the laws of the host countries do not apply. On the flip side, whether or not they like it, the U.S. Constitution DOES apply at an embassy.
