Technically speaking this is largely an impractical task as well as it would require coordination with millions of ISPs and email providers worldwide. Now do I believe it does happen in some areas like free mail accounts? Sure. Regardless if it was widespread as to say all email is monitored we would have outrage from many different ISPs world wide.
Tinfoil hats unite!
Many "sane and educated" people in this country also believe that they will eventually become a victim of a terrorist attack; many of the same people also truly believe that any government health care plan will involve death panels. Are those two facts true? No, but many, many people believe them.
