The goverment could, theoretically, if improperly, get a supoena for Google in general, and thus discover that you have something on your computer that is a "no no" when in the absence of using the desktop toolbar, they never would have suspected you. So while you are right that if they want to target you individually, you are vulnerable either way, to the extent that the toolbar puts out info that otherwise would not come within the scope of the government's searches, it does pose a risk.
