For Example i am a mammal- and im a human not a cat- humans Cant breed with cats - Nuclear Material is Top Secret- its labled Q- a person without Q clearance cant read it. is that a simple analogy or am i way off?

I think the briefing document explains it best:
Quote:
As explained below and shown in Table 1, there are two types of clearances granted to those employees who need them as a requirement of their job and meet the qualifications:
• Q Clearance. Q Clearances are granted based on background investigations. A Q clearance permits the holder to have access to Restricted Data, Formerly Restricted Data and National Security Information at the Confidential, Secret and Top Secret levels.
• L Clearance. As with Q clearances, L clearances are granted based on background investigations. An L clearance permits the holder to have access to Restricted Data at the Confidential level, as well as Formerly Restricted Data and National Security Information at the Confidential and Secret levels.
