Did you test it?
1. Without ExtraSecure:
the normal user/customer with account can access the checkout page with
SSL
2. a manual call of the checkout page is insecure
3. With ExtraSecure:
the normal user/customer get the violation page
4. a manual call of the checkout page has the same result as 3.

Beat me, if I'm wrong!
