for security reasons

Or you mean safety reasons? Seems odd, who said that? I've done over 200,000km and I have only just done mine, for increased breaking performance only, the stockies were technically fine.

It's an easy job. Unbolt the side on the calipers first, then the steel line side. That way you can stuff a piece of cloth into the banjo bolt opening to stop fluid leaking out while you undo the top part. Just make sure that you have the new one attached to the caliper first so you can get it on quickly.

How do I prevent the brake fluid dripping out of the system when either end is being detached?

You will lose some. Leave the cap on the master cylinder so it doesn't let any air in, that way you will lose less as it is under vacuum rather than just seeping through the system.
