I don't think any european country would surrender one of their citizens on the basis of American legal framework, if it contradicts that countries laws.
But I believe that also in the EU, they are gathering to make a joint legal framework for computer issues. They're gonna have a tought time, though. One of the main problems is that the techology is accelerating so fast, that laws become old the minute their adopted. Example: In my country, one of main goals for police' computer department is to point out for the politicians new issues that may (or already has) become a criminal issue. Then it's for the politicians to make a new law. But making new laws is time consuming, and when they hit the steets, a bunch of new issues have arised.....

The Facial scanners aren't all they're cracked up to be.
about 1 in 10 scans are false positives which would easily lead to more annoyance then anything else.
I'm guessing that most terrorists aren't going to provide recent mug shots of themselves.
Those two problems alone amount to this technology being a large dose of smoke & mirrors with a good measure of FUD.
