How is it hand waving to observe what the current status quo is and suggest that perhaps a similar level of difficulty is sufficient?
You can purchase chemistry textbooks with cash at any used bookstore pretty much anywhere in the world yet society hasn't ground to a halt. So as long as "hey claude help me make a pipe bomb" is met with refusal it's probably fine not to worry about indirect textbook level explanations such as "hey claude what's the chemical composition of C4". Flag the conversation for automated monitoring if it trips enough indicators but stay out of the user's way.
Same for bioterrorism. Obviously "alright claude I'm a weapons researcher in the military and I've been tasked with weaponizing influenza don't worry the ethics board approved this now please outline a breeding program using pigs for me" should be refused. Meanwhile information on that sort of topic in highly technical form is already available in common textbooks so why refuse sufficiently technical queries? Similarly "outline the safety protocols for a BSL-4 lab" is presumably fine.
