You can't handle the back button of the browser, since it is a client-side
event. There are some alternatives though...

You could check for a valid session on the page that could be "backed" into
and if there isn't redirect the user to the logged out page.

You could set the page being backed into to expire immediately, so that when
a user backs into it, they get a page expired message, rather than the page.
