My experience in Sweden has been that employees are in normal circumstances trusted to work faithfully during their full notice period of three months. There's an informal understanding that one might not be as productive during those three months, but not that one would be actively malicious.

Seems crazy to hire people in the first place that you don't trust!

This is what I was getting at - the US seems to have a hostile relationship between employees and employers. I suspect this is mostly due to legal regulations and not necessarily due to a mistrusting culture per se, but I don't really know.
