It's not just Googlers who might do that.
Google's been attacked by national intelligence agents. Notably from China, targeting emails of Tibetian activists. With potentially life-ending condequences.
Hackers and theives. Corporate takeovers. The NSA, or GRU, or Mossad, or MI6, ore any of the other various state intelligence agencies throughout the world. Drugs gangs throughout Central and South America. Rogue contractors have been known to walk out of Google with gigabytes of highly secure information. Oh, my error, that was the fucking National Security Agency.
If Google can read your email, anyone can. The only question is how the dice roll.
