The navy (which I am in) and the airlines have similar force-protection issues, with recent actual events and known current threats. This is not abstract stuff, I know someone who was on the Cole, and one of the 9/11 pilots used my AME...his picture is on the wall there.
We don't have much of a formal classification system in the airline biz, so we kind of have an informal, common sense approach....if a stranger on the internet, who is obviously not qualified on an airplane, asks how to access an external compartment on a specific model, perhaps we should not tell him! If he needs to know, he will get it in training.
