Thank you for the classy response. Every time I think about this surveillance state situation we find ourselves in, I have trouble staying civil.
This news item you reminded me of - "Google ended up encrypting all inter-datacenter traffic soon after" - makes sense as a response that the government can't argue with (yet).
Looking over the MUSCULAR wikipedia article, I wonder if the NSA could still capture the user's and enterprise's unencrypted data at the Google Front End Servers like they had been before the inter-datacenter traffic was encrypted?

It would be a fairly safe assumption that anything that hits the United States at a minimum has traffic analysis done on it. Most google services now use HTTPS at the front end.
