TSA heightens security at certain Florida airports
Pilots operating at Orlando International, Tampa International, Miami International, and Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International should expect a significant increase in security measures at those airports. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has deployed 160 security officers and other officials to these airports as part of a series of "airport employee security operations" to increase security measures, according to the TSA's press release. AOPA anticipates that general aviation pilots will see the security increase at airport access points. The TSA's move comes after news broke of the arrest of a Comair employee who had smuggled guns and drugs on board an airliner at Orlando International Airport.

Pilot Skip Gibbs regularly uses his Bonanza A36 to bring medical volunteers and supplies to remote areas of Mexico. Just before sunset, Gibbs was flying to the historic city of El Fuerte in the state of Sinaloa where LIGA International Flying Doctors of Mercy has been doing good works since 1934.
Sometimes in politics, the good news is that bad news won’t happen. Thanks to AOPA, antique aircraft collectors and aviation employers in Louisiana dodged legislative bullets that would have raised the costs of aircraft ownership or of doing business.
Question: Is there a visual aid to help me understand notams that change the configuration of an airport during construction?
