Which doesn't account for ignoring email spam (72% of email traffic in 2012, according to Kaspersky [0]), John in accounting having 3 images included in every footer, attachments being copied in every reply, and the fact a big player like Google keeps its gmail-to-gmail traffic under a secure connection -- not plug-n-play monitering.

And if we hold the USG to their promise towards the Constitution, "world" traffic should largely comprise itself of "non-US" traffic. We can safely say then assume that non-US users are most definitely monitored. All of them. Everything.
