Well, it can, and it does. I guess it's all in how you use it. If my session
id is "abcd", then when I log out, your program should erase all of the data
in the session and forget that it ever knew about a session called "abcd".
That way, even if I log in with the same session (since the cookie wasn't
deleted, probably, which is probably the cause of this whole problem), then
I will be a new user and not related to the old user/session in any matter.
