Not so!

I get your cookie, you log in on the next step, and the cookie does not
change (for *MANY* applications). Now I have your cookie, and it is for an
authenticated session.

All it means is that you need to wait for the user to authenticate before
ripping them off ;-) 

Simply test that they have authenticated by visiting some URL that returns
different values based on an authenticated or unauthenticated cookie.
