A slightly different situation is easy.  I want certain cookies to
persist.  All others should be "session only".

I located the folder containing my profile.  There I found the file
cookies.sqlite, selected it, right-clicked, and selected Properties.  I
checked the checkbox for "Read-Only".  Servers setting cookies respond
as it they are setting persistant cookies.  When I terminate SeaMonkey,
however, those cookies are lost.

Of course, I have to keep track of the cookies that remain in the
read-only file to make sure their expiration dates have not lapsed.
When that happens, I do a fresh launch of SeaMonkey, uncheck the
checkbox for "Read-Only" on the cookies.sqlite file, and then visit only
the site for which I want to keep cookies.  I must then terminate
SeaMonkey to get the cookies moved from memory to the cookies.sqlite
file, which I then check the checkbox to make the file "Read-Only" again.

Immigration authorities arrested 680 undocumented aliens in meat
processing facilities in Mississippi.  Employing someone who is not
legally in the U.S. is also illegal.  How many of the EMPLOYERS are
being criminally charged?  If none, why not?
