Delete Known Government-Linked Certificate Authorities in OSX

Inspired by http://zitseng.com/archives/7489

Deletes Known Government Controlled Root Certs from OSX 10.10

Also removes any user trust settings for each certificate

WARNINGS

• Do not run unless you understand what this is doing
• The CA system is broken by design - This is not a fix for that
• This is merely a band-aid for those interested or concerned about these root CAs

Usage

chmod +x delete_gov_roots.sh
./delete_gov_roots.sh

You'll be prompted for your password as root access is required to delete system-wide root certs.
