Security and Gmail

I have never really liked trusting other people with my data. I make some exceptions. One exception in particular is gmail. I really like having ssl access to my email everywhere I go. I really like the interface. I really like the nearly unlimited storage. I really don't like them having security holes that expose my data. I hope the smart folks at google stay on top of this stuff and work to build trust with their users. Their lack of a timely public announcement is the part of the story that worries me the most.
