The Star Trek future, ie. travel with speed faster than light, will most likely happen through "warp drive", ie. using the space expansion(contraction) - this is how the natural faster than light movement does happen in the current Universe, and it doesn't violate Special Relativity. Special Relativity holds only for space with static and continuous metric (to preview the complexity of the theory otherwise, try to play with Maxwell equations where integration would happen over non-static volumes/surfaces :) . The space expansion doesn't fit the premises of Special Relativity and thus there is no contradiction. Special Relativity is pretty artificial theory which applies to the true world of our expanding (ie. non static metric) Universe only by approximation - this approximation works only as much as the speed of expansion is slow and either time period under consideration is small or distances are small (but not very small as the space continuity premise of SR seems to get broken as we get to Planck distances) In this particular case of neutrinos, i think, if they integrate Earth gravity time dilation variations along the neutrinos path, it would be correction on the scale around this billionth of second.
