First, let me say that this dsage job page is pretty cool.

About the random job ids, sounds like "security through obscurity" to  
me. There's already the concept of job ownership, and levels of trust  
controlling who can submit/process a job, so I think (long term at  
least) that infrastructure could be used to control viewing (or even  
showing up in the list).
