While I like the graphic overall, I think the "NSA as a global passive adversary" element is an example of the graphic being overloaded with information that will confuse/scare away most people.
So far, there is one story where Eva claims the NSA can break tor easily, see this Tor and HTTPS graphic as proof: https://secure.security.nl/artikel/40574/1/%2522NSA_kan_Tor-gebruikers_ident... If your adversary is any rumored global passive adversary that can watch and record the entire Internet at once, then you've probably already lost the game. At PETS in 2009[0], Paul did a talk on 'why I'm not an entropist' and suggested that people need to start working on defeating a mythical global passive adversary. Maybe in the near future some government will have the capability of being the global passive adversary.
