Over the past few years, I've been yelled at for taking a photo of a sign inside of an airport about the U.S. Visit program, a surveillance camera at a Starbucks, and the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas while it was under construction. Here in Boston, the MBTA prohibits photos of subways and buses without permission and people have been known to be questioned by the police for taking photos of the large LNG tank along side the Southeast Expressway. I'm sure you would risk arrest if your started talking photos of children at the local playground without the permission of their parents. Cops also don't seem to like to have their photos taken either. Even folks simply walking down the street will probably be less than thrilled about having their photos taken without their permission.
Totally irrelevant to copyright and relevant to security measures.
