Identify potential troublemakers well before the fact, and shortlist
them for realtime tracing and total telco tap so that you can see what
is brewing, and how to remove them from circulation, if required. 
Identify patterns of trouble early, in realtime. 

None of it is specific to the US, Germany is doing it as well.
Specificially you should assume you're a target of lawful (or less
lawful) telecommunication intercept.
