Good question ;-).  I'm sure someone knows far more than I.  It seems  
to be a redundant security check to ensure that the data transferred  
wasn't corrupted or tampered with.  I assume it would prevent any  
kind of injection into the tranmission...  I also assume that our  
commenting out such features opens small security holes, but I've  
experienced no problems thus far.
