on BSO Aviation Unit's door at one of the terminals, introduced myself,
said
what I wanted (just to take photos and not be harassed), and as amazing as
it may sound the answer was "Uhh, ok, no problem, let me call the field
guys, let them know you are outthere".

FLL has a lot of knarly looking Europeans crawling around doing their
plane-spotting thing. The aviation department guys are used to it. The fact
that you asked first makes you stand out from that crowd. It casts suspicion
on you. Let me know if you need to make bail. :-)
