Who said MITM isn't a threat? I'm talking about the difference between targeted surveillance (MITM) and dragnet surveillance. If you think you have any solution that would beat the NSA at targeted surveillance, you are dead wrong.

In the meantime, not trusting a third party server with a password would go a long way toward defeating dragnet surveillance. Read the reports. NSA defeats your SSL routinely, and they are MOST INTERESTED in the part where you supply a server with a password. They can only bust SSH some of the time. There is a very real security difference between the two.

Snowden got exiled bringing you the news. At least have the decency to read it.
