I think it would be very interesting if the civil courts of the US and EU each forced the other entity into passing stronger privacy protections than they have currently. Specifically, I'm thinking of a scenario where the collapse of Safe Harbor helps force Congress into passing meaningful privacy legislation and drastically curtailing the NSAs overbroad powers and mandates, and the US then turns around to the EU and says "ok, now it's your turn. If we can't spy on everybody, then neither can you."
