Google runs its own fiber. You want to bet that the NSA has, among its reported [1] "10 to 20" 641A clones, a tap into Google's trunk? I would bet on that. I would also bet on NSA operatives within Google, some clandestine. If Google can't identify Chinese spies with 100% probability, how likely are they to identify American ones? Simple terms. If either of those two points come to light (NSA backbone taps of Internet companies or clandestine NSA/IC operatives planted in Internet companies, perhaps in foreign subsidiaries of the same) you publicly post that you were wrong/credulous and the "conspiracy theorists" were right. After all, if the FBI infiltrated [2] the unimportant KKK, the US government definitely has an incentive to infiltrate the all-important Google.
