May I ask how? If you're logged in to the secure server, then the cookies won't get transmitted to the unsecure server when loading js from them. At the very worse (if we really put on our tin foil hats) I suppose someone could intercept the non-secured js script, do a man in the middle type thing and replace the script with malicious js. However if someone actually has the ability to do that, they could already do that with the geoip lookup. Thus I don't see how doing the importScriptURI reduces security.
Firefox and IE will whine that the site attempts to load unsecure resources. Also, it is indeed possible to transmit cookies; it's enough that the user has also logged in into the unsecure servers in the past and is e.g. at a public WiFi hotspot now and so uses the secure gateway.
