This is where you get it wrong. You are pushing the decision to the user. They have to evaluate the network
their browser is currently attached to and make a decision on what kind of security they 
need for this particular network. Even in the office, the iPad on your desk might be connected
to 3G because it lost contact with the wifi. 

I think we can not require that users are able to perform a security evaluation of each and
every network the device their browser is running on connects to. Make it secure by default.
I mean, this is the year 2011 and we do have CPUs that can handle it. People walk around
with dual core in their pockets.
