How many months from release until the FISA court issues a secret order to turn one of these on 24x7x365 in a suspect's home, and stream the audio to the FBI "counter terrorism" people investigating a subject?

Google Home isn't the first entry into this market (Amazon Echo is a thing), and neither of those is the first network-connected microphone-bearing device in people's homes that might be targeted, so its kind of weird to focus on this particular product for that question.
It might be the first one to pass some sort of critical mass of consumer adoption, and within a few years have 10x the market share of Amazon Echo. Depends how much Google subsidizes the hardware and how much they advertise/push it in their other platforms.
