Npr had a story on post 9/11 rights of photographers. Unfortunately I can’t find a transcript, just a link to the audio file.
Bert P. Krages II also has some information on his site about photographer’s rights, and he is the author of the heavily downloaded Photographer’s Bust Card.

I heard that story on the way to work the other day. It was amazing to hear the stories of guys getting arrested and detained by police for taking pictures of bridges or power lines. And the cops made comments to the effect of “Don’t you know its illegal to take pictures of a federal building?!” “Don’t you know it’s illegal to take pictures of chemical plants after 9/11?” And they meant it. One of the professional photogs they talked with said there were some pictures he just wouldn’t try to take anymore. How sad.
