RS SP1 added hidden parameters which will not appear as parameters in the
report header or prompt the user for the value. However, they still will be
passed along the URL. You may want to do the previous suggestions which is
host the report in your own HTML frame so that no one sees the parameters
that are passed and can mess with them. Of course, that's not foolproof but
it will stump most end users.
The other thing is hopefully the data source won't let people return
information that they shouldn't have permissions to see.
