This is actually one use case for which we have written our Crossbear tool: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/crossbear/ It's a way not only to detect the MitM on the path, but also to attempt to localise him on the level of IP address or AS by tracerouting from different points on the globe. It shares a few features with Perspectives and Convergence (and in fact makes use of the latter as a welcome 3rd party vantage point, i.e. it uses it as a back-end). More info available from the Mozilla link. With events progressing this fast we have decided to release it today (we had intended to wait until our "hunting infrastructure" was fully operational - i.e. a PlanetLab deployment of "tracerouting entities").
