[ic] disabling GET variables

I've been careful to not rely on any GET variables in
my catalog.  Even so, I suppose the "id" variable is
still passed via GET if the user has cookies disabled.
 Is doesn't seem like a numerical "mv_pc" would matter
because it's just an anti-cacher right?  That leaves
the UI which has GETs all over the place.

It seems like a security risk to allow users to modify
variables in the URL via GET.  Should I not be worried
about this, or is there a way to keep that from
happening?  I guess I'm talking about disabling non-UI
GET variables other than "id".  I took a look at
TolerateGet here:

but I don't think it's what I'm after.
