Would there be any way to do this programmatically? We would like to
remove any Google session objects before we refer them to
http://mail.google.com/a/domain.com

This way, we can ensure that even if the student does not log out of
their Google mail and/or our Student Portal properly (therefore never
being sent to: http://mail.google.com/a/domain.com/?logout), we will
be securing privacy by removing session cookies automatically each
time before SSO redirect.

This is a huge issue for us as we have many open computer areas which
are shared by many students who may not close all browser windows
after they are finished their work.
