The NSA has made direct targeted attacks at US companies in the past. Just look at Google, they got NSLs and had to cooperate with PRISM yet at the same time the NSA still dug up their fiber and tapped it.
With the NSA's twisted logic that a search is not a search unless it matches and it's fine to search data so long as there's a chance it involves a non-US citizen I think jurisdiction is largely irrelevant for attacks other than the necessity of one seeing as the NSA has access to a secret court that has a history of never siding against them.
I'd view eliminating tyrannical government orders as a plus.
