But where are you getting your whole "piggybacking" idea from? The original story was that the user "verified" that he could get anyone's data by changing an integer in the URL. Typing a new URL into his browser makes it, in Web terms, a new request, not anything "piggybacking" on an old one. So the data was pushed, very much solicited, as part of a new access. That the user's browser held an authorization (cookie?) for a previous access to the user's own data doesn't quite, AFAICS, mean that this new access to other data was also actually authorized.
