Hackers when found can expect to be tried and punished, especially where they cause damage or commit fraud. Does a nosy in Nasa really deserve a 5 years sentence? What a waste when the real issue is Nasa security should to keep its back doors shut. Why try to scare trespassers with huge sentences and extend USA jurisdiction? Just shut the gate before the horse bolts! The committed on US soil stuff is rot the US incarcerates men in Guantanamo Bay without trial because there is no case to bring on US soil. On US soil they'd have human rights - to a fair trial. Try being democratic? Try to protect and secure your interests before you revert to removing human rights when you feel under threat. Why domineer rather than negotiate?
If the US cannot trust the UK to handle a minor prosecution the so called special relationships can't be worth a button.
