Using in-flight Internet services

It's recently been disclosed that if you use the in-flight Internet service provider GoGo, they are using a Man-in-the-Middle attack to throttle the bandwidth of high bandwidth internet pages.

While I can appreciate the need to limit bandwidth, from a security standpoint this is worrisome. MitM attacts are linked to a lot of ID thefts.
