It's likely just a matter of time until the US uses the Patriot Act to get personal info out of Google without disclosure. The Patriot Act http://www.aclu.org/Privacy/Privacy.cfm?ID=11054&c =130 obliges US companies to disclose any information without notifying their customers. Your search history and gmail accounts are effectively the property of Uncle Sam.

Google may wish to Do No Evil, but that doesn't mean they can't be coerced.
