Excellent article by security and security technology expert Bruce 
Schneier ...

"Given that real terrorists, and even wannabe terrorists, don't seem to 
photograph anything, why is it such pervasive conventional wisdom that 
terrorists photograph their targets? Why are our fears so great that we 
have no choice but to be suspicious of any photographer?  [...]

Fear aside, there aren't many legal restrictions on what you can 
photograph from a public place that's already in public view. If you're 
harassed, it's almost certainly a law enforcement official, public or 
private, acting way beyond his authority. There's nothing in any 
post-9/11 law that restricts your right to photograph."
