Since 9/11, the net has been full of stories about photographers being harassed/arrested, having gear taken/damaged, having memory cards erased or confiscated, etc.
In NYC in particular, it has been an ongoing challenge to photograph some of the amazing architecture (such as inside subway and train terminals).
Thankfully, national photography trade organizations (and others) have been helpful in supporting the legal efforts (ie: fighting prosecution) of photographers and videographers caught in the combination of fear, misinformation and overzealous enforcement.
