It would be possible to do this if I then created another table to load
their profile data to and use the unique id as the identifier. It would
make it alot harder for someone to guess an ID. I would then need a way to
flush out their records from the second table when they are finished.
Easily enough done using a logout script but who actually does this
anymore. It would be possible to create a script to run through cron to
delete records from that table that are more than say 30 minutes old.

Good idea, thanks.
