It's real. People are deathly afraid of photographers. I try to remind people that they didn't crash cameras into the World Trade Center, but this argument never goes over very well.
Sadly, no consequences ever came from my article. I didn't get arrested. The Port Authority didn't return our phone calls. They still put "no camera" signs all over their property.
(To be completely fair, I have to assume that the signs are directed at employees that are going inside. I do think they want to scare the general public just a little bit, because they could easily have put the sign indoors if they were only targeting employees.)

Here's a picture of one of their "no cameras" signs being looked at by one of their cameras: https://goo.gl/maps/oMhyjBcW7LrG4jyu8 I love it.
