> Even[!] a Googler

It's an interesting world view where being a random Googler apparently suggests higher priority than a DOJ request.

They left out the caveat of with business and production need and VP and driector approval but it kills the theme of the message to enumerate all of the classifiers.

Moving that much sensitive data is a big task with invokves many interested parties.

nah, the DC office's tech talent ain't bad, although like most engineers they're not the best at efficiently communicating technical stuff to, say, staff lawyers

> Plus, one wonders if Google even holds the data the US government is requesting.

lol... I don't wonder this at all... but either ways, the government could potentially get it in real time (like the NSA, today).
