That's the truth
Most ISPs and Google, at least, state that they require government authorities to obtain a search warrant/court order before handing over customer information. Then they only hand over enough information to comply with the order. I know that Verizon has a good record in this department.
The United States has specific procedures to enable the government to search private information and to seize private property. When the citizens, such as the employees of MSN, just allow the law enforcement officials to take what they want without a warrant then those citizens are guilty of undermining our Constitutional protections from government bullying.
