I was thinking along similar lines. Does anybody know more about the penalties for violating a gag order, like this? Is there some trick that could be built-into sensitive services like email, maybe some kind of per-account warrant canary?

The penalties for violating a gag order can be very high indeed. Research "National Security Letters" Or think of Aaron Scwartz. If you get on the bad side of LE, they can hunt and harrass you for years. There was one service which suggested people/organizations report in once per week that they had NOT received a NSL. Presumably when a company did not report this, it would suggests that they had. I'm not sure what happened to the service.
