Waaaaaaaa, Amos, why you say "unverifiable"? You can show CA to users,
they can see your PKI by eyes, check fingerprint, read your CPS ;)
Users, in this case, trust not NSA or any abstract CA issuer, but your
personally. Client can trust or do not trust you. But in case of far far
away What-due-call-am-CA client trust them by default. Why?

Can you do the same checks against, for example, Comodo, or DigiCert? I
think no. You forced to trust them in absentia. "We swear by my mother,
everything is safe with us!"

Do your remember Trustico story?

So, what is more secure? I am here or What-due-call-am-CA there?

The point is not technical. It is rather a matter of faith.

The Onion Router uses only self-signed in they infrastructure. We're
should not trust'em due to it CA's not signed by global "trusted" CA? It
makes TOR less secure?

The same case here. Security/insecurity is not a matter of technique.
This is a question of man. The car can carry, and can kill.

However, there is secure by design things. And there is insecure by
design things.

End-to-end encryption in IM is secure by design. HTTPS is not.
End-to-end you can't be easy break. HTTPS - just install third-party CA
into your PC! HTTPS permits it.

Squid here just tool. Which can be used for MiTM. Or can't. It's
independent from you. You just manufacture the car for me. I'll deside,
how it will be uses.

So, users will decide - if they trust me, or do not trust. Me, not
abstract remote CA.
