In terms of law enforcement, sure. But what we really need is competent white hat hackers doing battle with the black hats.
Even if no one goes to jail, the NSA could make residential proxies much harder to operate in the US simply by detecting them and reporting them to ISPs. It would be good for ISPs to then validate the reports properly, give warnings, etc.
