Or you could use a "start of session" page (see earlier thread) and have
this open a small popup window showing the timer. The timer as such can
easily be syncronised with your backend keeping track of when the login
expires..

Make sure the browser is fully restarted between customers, and that the
cookie, history, urlbar and browser cache is cleared. Any of these may
contain sensitive information which you (or your customers) do not want to
be leaked between customers.

This is mostly a logistics question. How to detect that one person leaves
and another comes to the same station.
