I just think what i say and write is not THAT interesting, for them.
Also, when the NSA or woever really wants to read and judge all eMail traffic that carry the name "bomb" or whatever, they will need more than the american population to reread and check it ..
It is automatted, it is very advanced algorithms monitoring it. Stop think in cold war terms, 60s style. This is the 21st century.

But does one of them really think a "terrorist" (now we have their attention for sure ahem) will use those words in a conspirative mail ?
We have seen somew dilettants trying tpo martyrerize themselves and becasue they were amateurs made incredibly stupid mistakes. Also, if oyu think it is just a list of words they serahc for, then I dare bet you are wrong. Syntax and sentence structure reveal more about a person than you may be aware of. Ask a voice profiler of the police, for example. It's not about sound and pronounciation only, but very much aboiut structuring of sentence, the weighing of using verbs versus adjectives and main words, and so on.

With modern computers you can watch and analyse all that comminucation going on for sure. Automatically. It is no secret an ymore that the NSA overhears all communication in Europe sionce at least the 80s from some spy installation in Britain. And that was the 80s. Today, it is 30 years later, and mroe satellites and whatever else there is.

Occassionally a red light may start blinking when the algorithms of the monitor software meet one of their preset and complex criterions - and not before then humans start to intervene in the case.
