Regarding indicators, I agree that it should be more apparent.  Perhaps a
dedicated bar that occupies an entire edge-to-edge horizontal area.

I would propose that it might have two distinct messages, as well:

1.  A message that an explicitly known MiTM certificate exists in the
certificate chain being relied upon.  This would allow for explicit warning
about known MiTM infrastructures and would allow tailoring any "more info"
resource to explicitly call out that it is known that interception is being
performed.

2.  A message that indicates that a non-standard certificate chain is being
presented, which might mean corporate interception, private websites within
an organization, etc, etc.
