I don't think we know what the relationship between Google and the NSA actually is. I will say that I operate under the assumption that Google gives the NSA whatever they ask for up to and including access to raw streams of information.

I agree with the decision to require TLS, but I don't know that it does a lot with regard to the NSA, and moreover, I don't trust them anymore not to turn over information in bulk.
