When the user sees that SSL/TLS is stripped, this isn't a vulnerability 
of the protocol. User can make a choice to use such connection anyway. 
There are command line options like this for some commands, and the 
choice in the browser.

Compare this with https using compromised by government CA, when the 
user doesn't have any way of knowing about MITM. So https+private CA 
stands secure.
