Well, it is not as the time stated within the signature is generated on
the client and it can not be trusted...

Actually this could be stripped off... we could add a parameter where,
if used, the time is no more checked (or if used the time is checked) like
-notime ( or -checktime in the latter case).

Your modify is simply to comment the code here quoted ?
