Quoting Andy Ousterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

The client has to send the CFID and CFToken. If the client doesn't do 
that, the server will not be able to associate the appropriate session 
variables with the client request. That is not a problem when users are 
logged out when the session fails, but leaves a security risk if the 
client is allowed more when the session is not present. Simply refusing 
the cookies with the CFID and CFToken would give me an unlimited number 
of login attempts.

Always design systems with a fail-close behaviour.
