If the boss of a company eats lunch with the boss of the mafia, I think that would be warranted.
However, I meant it more in a sense that the mails will be accessed by the NSA, be it on Googles servers, on the transport between Googles servers (they tried to fix that though, didn't they?) or before. As a link on the level of the mails.

I agree with your main point. However, this
is a blatant misrepresentation.
If mafia (or whoever) wiretapped your fibers would you be fine with people describing you as "a person with a direct link to the mafia"?

Do you have a source about the lunch?
Yes, the traffic is encrypted now, see e.g. http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/20/gmail-traffic-between-googl...
