Are there laws restricting surveillance of federal buildings?

I know there are buildings everywhere you cannot take pictures of or record on video. The same applies to subways, etc.

Sadly reminds me of a trip to the former East Berlin

Do you mean you cannot record from on their property...or you cannot record their property. For example, if I wanted to record something standing on the property of the AON building, I would be told to leave. If I'm standing across the street and record the AON building, is that illegal?

I was once on the University of Nebraska campus,
on a summer weekend taking photos of the famed Cornhusker Stadium -
as I was about to visit my young nephew - my "baby" sister's kid -
and only wanted these photos to show and for him really.

Campus police were going to take my digital camera -
but I convinced them that I would move on and not take any more photos at all on campus.

Our Patriot Act . . . keeping kids from interest in college ya' could say ?

I have been in the Federal Buildings in both Chicago and L.A. -
if I whipped out a digital camera and started pointing it around . . .
I am positive I would have to give it up, from my experience.

I don't want to go into too much detail but does anyone know where exactly I can find actual laws?
