NSA doesn't intend to use the data about you just now because you are not a person of interest for them. But they need it in case if you find yourself on their way in some point in the future (i.e. you find a proof that the event x/xx was a false-flag attack or there is a little gray alien in president's attic) then they will use it against you.

It is the hallmark of totalitarian regimes – throughout history – to monitor the populace and politicians alike.

The United States is, of course, not a totalitarian regime, because the NSA was not interested in the content of these communications, but merely the metadata.

They love content, actually, since it holds more material.
