===================
I still don't see any indication that 18 U.S.C. 793 is extraterritorial: That is apparently necessary for a prosecution for actions taken outside the U.S.
Similarly, I don't see an indication that 18 U.S.C. 371 is extraterritorial.

Nor do I see that 18 U.S.C. 1030 is extraterritorial.

For an example of a law which claims Extraterritorial jurisdiction, see: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1512
"(h)There is extraterritorial Federal jurisdiction over an offense under this section."
