Won't work, or you don't want to use them?

Why would the user have to type in a URL with a session id? Your session
ids are only good while the user is active and they will expire after a
certain amount of time.

Again, why does that matter because that ID is only good while the user
is active. When they log out, it's worthless, or after a certain amount
of inactive time, it's worthless...
