The NSA has and does use it's capabilities to monitor ALL incoming and outgoing international and domestic phone calls, e-mails, and financial transactions primarily (says the government) in an attempt to identify and track potential terrorists.
The system looks for specific words, patterns, etc., to isolate individuals for specific attention. Once you get high enough on the list, they can go to a special federal court and obtain a warrant to then tap ALL of your communications if you are deemed a credible threat to national security.
The only thing secret about the NSA's program are the specific things they look for to isolate a specific threat. Big Brother is watching - no doubt about it.
