I monitor NY center just in case, and have heard myself described as traffic to others within the TCA, while not contacting the controllers themselves. By the way, there is a proposal by the FAA to REQUIRE all transponder equipped planes to have them on at all times, not just when under ATC! This was metioned in the last AOPA magazine, and is being fought but may well become regs.
