What I do myself is trim off each end so the red is revealed but not 
cut into.  Sometimes it takes a couple of shallow cuts.  Then score 
the outer peal with a knife,  break it apart into pieces, and break 
the arils off from the peel.  (I use my fingers but intend to try 
hitting the back of the peel with a spoon).  Since you don't cut the 
arils, there is very little mess.
