David P. Reed:
GoGo does not need to run "Man in the Middle Attacks" on YouTube

Whick summary:
GoGo provides internet access on airplanes. They want to block YouTube
(and similar) to avoid overloading their thin pipes. They are doing that by
intercepting https connections and presenting bogus certificates.

Inflight service promises no data is collected, but practice sets a bad
