Revision... LTOs use the THIS scope which is a public scope and can be modified outside of the CFC.  LTOs are not fully encapsulated...but quasi-encapsulated as I hope the developer would refrain from changing the data inside the LTO after its' init().  Any changes to data should be done on a bean not on the LTO.  LTOs are meant to be read-only.
