That is not true, at least in US. They need an approval. Without it they would be not serviced by provider who has all equipment. If they do and I know it I can be reach (I don't consider some extreme cases).

Do they abuse it? hell yea, I know thousand of chases. I even abused the system asking a friend to track down someone, and my friend is at the low end of the chain of command.
I don't know and it is an exact reason why in Frankfurt there is an additional security for US flights. It is like Internet firewall. Sorry for you guys.
