Orlando Airport MCO Taking Pictures

I have been wanting to take pictures at the Orlando International Airport MCO but they had taken out the small dirt road that use to be there for aircraft spotting. I checked their website and it states that aircraft spotting is no longer allowed.
Is there someone I need to speak with to be able to take photos? What I really want is to be able to take photos from the tar mat if thats at all possible. Is there someone specific that I would have to speak with for clearance? Anyone with experience in this airport of field would greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Heightened security alert? Homeland security's site just says elevated. I think they just don't want people around. The dirt road over on Frontage Rd is fenced off now (if that's the one your thinking of).

I know a thing or two about a thing or two...

Get a ramp job at the airport. You'll have so much access you'll get bored of it.

There are a few places around the airport to take pics.
If you’d like to join our e-mail group, let me know. We do MCO spotting from time to time, update each other on special plane visits, color schemes, plan trips, stuff like that.
