This from another site I monitor.
As a result of the settlement of a lawsuit in New York, the federal government now recognizes that photographers have the right to take pictures of the exteriors of federal buildings. It appears that the settlement is applicable throughout the country. See New York Times, 10/19/10.

I once got chased off a sidewalk in Chicago when taking a photo of the Federal Reserve building. I simply went across the street and took the shot. Seemed entirely silly to me at the time. Still does, I suppose.
