At least where I live, it depends on the intersection. So don't assume anything.

Edit: pulled out a quote:
MICHAEL BRISSENDEN: The existence of the Echelon network was only confirmed a few weeks ago when US National Security Agency documents were declassified. Essentially it's a surveillance network capable of intercepting any telephone call, fax or e-mail made on earth. Echelon is run by the US National Security Agency using satellites and ground bases in Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It can sift through a million electronic messages every half hour.
Each company would need to build an API for them, which would also need to be maintained. Imagine a dev updating some code and finding out he broke the build in the secret US govt. API? Ok that is a bit flippant, but the practicality of accessing the data is an issue, and would have involved lots of devs, managers etc which I would think increases the chances of leaks from with in each Internet company. There have been none, even now.
Just a thought.
Actually, hold that thought. Is it weird that no one is saying "I work at company x and I did or didn't see this".

I have been using a Mac since 2005 and never figured out what it did, then I stopped noticing it was even there.
As it turns out, this article only talks about specialised training and special devices and the dangers of crashing in cold oceans. Probably not many handy hints for the casual helicopter passenger.
