   "One change, however, will not be a "sticky" verification process. Apple's Mac OS X operating system only asks users to enter their password once and it is remembered for the rest of the time they are logged on"
   
   Now that's just incorrect. When a program authenticates, it stays authenticated until the program frees the authentication or until the program is closed. For example after you are done copying a file with Finder into a folder that requires authentication, to copy something else you authenticate again because the Finder has already freed its authentication. Other programs can hold on to the authentication but granting one app access certainly doesn't grant everything else access until you log out.
