You can use structClear(session) to kill it. The browser closing doesn't
always clear the session, as I found out in a project I work on. A common
occurrence is the browser is closed or it crashes and the user goes to log
back in and the session is still there. I have this throwing an error with
a link that runs the following script...
<cfscript>
StructClear(session);
//uncomment if using j2ee session id's//'
//getPageContext().getSession().invalidate();
</cfscript>

/*You Can't close the session. It will only close when the session
