Again, that is trivially easy to falsify.

My best quick hack solution so far is to fire off a traceroute and  
make sure that the traceroute gets ICMP TTL expire messages from IP  
addresses that are in prefixes originated from all the ASes in the  
ASPATH.
Still forgeable, but a bit more difficult.. still far from perfect  
though.
