  If you aren't breaking the law, the government won't be looking for your
  data, and won't ask Google/Yahoo/Bing/AltaVista or other search companies
  for your data.

This seems overly optimistic.  Remember the whole telecom fiasco?
Even if you are breaking the law in some mild way, do you really want
the government to be using toll records or traffic-cams to enforce
speeding laws, etc?

With 24 million small businesses in the US alone, that's way too many apples.
