Comment:

 Actually, HTTPS is needed to keep the authentication tickets a secret.
 It's fine that FAS authentication is encrypted but when the ticket is
 passed around for authentication purposes in WP in the clear it leaves
 your authentication open for attack (and could leave other services
 vulnerable that use FAS for auth).  This is a known attack vector and I
 believe we've seen some attacks in the wild with this.
