"Ever since Sept. 11, a photographer’s lot in the most photographed city in America has been one of increasing frustration. Police officers, security agents and private guards try to stop journalists and members of the public who are standing in the public way from taking pictures of public events and publicly visible scenes. Almost every time they do so, they are wrong."

it's always good for those who don't know the local photography laws to study up a bit, so you aren't limited if traveling or just out shooting. In the US the law is quite simple and pretty much on the side of the photographer, it's just about knowing your rights and not getting pushed around...

A pretty succinct summary of rights in the US for those who've yet to see such a thing:
