I agree with your comments, especially on the part that scanners can hardly find design flaw. I remember I encountered 
one case in which the session id is sequential; the scanner did not even pick up such an obvious flaw. In another case, 
after user login, the user id is embdeded as hidden value and used to authenticate the user. And the scanner failed to 
pick this up again.
