Problems with that:
1) According to some reports (mentioned by Randall Munroe in either xkcd or What If?), the US Government already has exabytes of SAN space.
2) It doesn't take that long to crawl the data, relatively speaking. On the order of weeks, sure, but that's nothing compared to a manual data search.
3) If Google does that, then the US Government has some of my emails buried in that DB - and, since I'm Canadian, they have no legal reason to delete those emails once they're done.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
