The SESSION type should only be used for the setting or updating of Session variables. Later versions of CF are not as unforgiving for the lack of using CFLOCK but you would be a better programmer, particularly in a hosted environment, to continue to lock crucial elements of your code.
You should only require a CFLOCK when setting a Session level variable. It should not be required when reading from this scope. The EXCLUSIVE type prevents the same section of code being executed concurrently so is ideal in say the update of a database. Because of this exclusivity it should also be used with caution as server bottlenecks can occur.
