The warning function is interesting for keeping some form of privacy [if it
cannot be bypassed]

But I do not see it for enabling security:
- There is no info on how the id is created, so it is possibly insecure.
- Use your own i-appli micro browser and fake ids to access ...

  "...groupware or Web sites conducting online transactions, for
authorization."

  happy m-trading! :)

Anyone thinking about the security of the id?
