What this means is that your organization should have a policy about
unattended logged in terminals.  If you care, logoff, lock your 
display, lock the office, etc. When you provide the UID/pw it is 
similar to login to any kind of protected service, a mainframe, a local
unix system, a NETWARE server, etc.

In the end you must practice safe computing if you care what your 
computed results are...
