Update 'Threat Model' section #10

The guide seems to assume the reader is U.S. based and that NSA surveillance is at the core of her threat model. We should alter the framing to make it a bit more generic and interesting to a wider audience. While we should still mention the NSA, it would be good to focus on all the other very realistic threats most journalists face. Perhaps also re-title the guide something like "Encryption Works: A Guide to Protecting Your Privacy for Journalists, Sources, and Everyone Else."

FPF/ SecureDrop documentation is generally US specific because we are ourselves Americans and have the best knowledge of the laws and surveillance policies and capabilities here. Some other threats to journalists (and individuals) are mentioned, although perhaps this was not the case when you wrote this.
