You may want to do everything through a stored procedure(s). As part of that stored procedure you could create multiple sql queries one of which can be an audit trail.
 
Another way is to present the material to be deleted as a table with a checkbox for each row.  Then have the user select each individual record. Pass the information to a cftag that does the delete. this reduces the opportunity for a user to randomly type anything in and allows you to implement a validation routine.
 
Another item to explore is to use the https if security is a concern. Can't say I have experience with it but given your description that might be a method to investigate.

Im sorry I was in a hurry and should have explained this better. For the first time I am faced with allowing users to delete info from a database. I am trying to come up with a save method for doing that. In other words I don't want people to just type random numbers in a query string and start erasing stuff. Most of the measures I have come up with so far are easily defeated. I had considered putting the primary key of the tuple to be deleted in a hidden form field but if you can alter the info sent in a post request (and I think I read somewhere that you could) then that measure is kinda lame too. the best I've got so far is that the user can only delete those tuples that are related to their login.

I don't know of a way to say make IE send different request headers, but if you're trying to test something, wouldn't cfpost work?

Is is possible to alter the information that is sent in the headers of a POST request?
