I am frightened that you seem unable to understand such simple concepts.
You know, I think you should suggest to banks that they dont really know
if someone is there and should end all session based online banking.
Or they could do the SENSIBLE thing and ASSUME in many cases that the
fact that someone opened the session means that there is a HIGH
PROBABILITY that someone os THERE. Possibly implement a time out. Oh,
they do jus that.
Idiot.
