This is clearly a case of boiling a frog. This is pretty shocking, but these services are so convenient and most of us having been abused by law enforcement that it doesn't seem like a big deal. Perception is reality, so it's really hard to see enough people getting angry about this to change it. The fact that google stores emails for so long should make one pause and think about encryption. I wonder if storing your drafts in your inbox, would make them harder to be found? Or do they grab everything and then later determine what is inadmissible? Maybe gmail needs to let you upload an asymmetrical encryption key that they store all emails with after they do their spam filtering and targeting marketing? You could only read your email with the corresponding private key.
