Actually, this used to be a requirement (Bush era). My wife, who takes Americans to Cuba, had each passenger keep a detailed diary of the day's activities (not expenditures), which corresponded with the detailed itinerary she prepared for them to comply with the U.S. Government restrictions on travel activities. Over the years, several travelers were asked for their records by U.S. authorities of various sorts (e.g., Global Entry applications).
