I wondered about that traffic, and getting confirmation from the source that the only way the NSA could have it would be by tapping into the internal network is as quite damning.

Google has the best OpSec team I've ever known, it is my hope that they close this 'loophole' as completely as possible.

This has been asked before, but I'd love to hear from a dev (anonymously of course) who actually helped build this NSA madness. Is it like The Cube, where no one really knew what each piece was for? Is it that they are morally pro the NSA's attitude toward personal and corporate privacy, or do they just not care either way?

Closing that loophole was underway in Sept according to this article (also linked in the post)...
