Well, I think Snowden told us the tapping happens at the exchanges mainly. Was there a lot of cutting and splicing?

The cable landing stations are an easier location to tap the subsea stuff. If you tour one there are rooms they won't let you in.

I mean, I'd kind of expect not to be allowed in everywhere in such a facility for many reasons. You can't go anywhere you want in all kinds of public infrastructure (water treatment plants, power plants, etc.).
