You ask, "What does this have to do with terrorism?" If you belive these new rules are for some other reason, please explain.
You say these "permits" have been required long before 9-11 happened. I agree with you on that point, movie studios and other commercial filmers shouild require some type of permit.
You say the old rules were very vague and the new rules much more specific with even the NYCLU admiting that. The following quote from the linked article seems to disagree with your statement. "Mr. Dunn suggested that the city deliberately kept the language vague, and that as a result police would have broad discretion in enforcing the rules." As interpeted by Mr. Dunn of the NYCLU, the new rules are vague and could "apply to a huge range of casual photography and filming, including tourists taking snapshots and people making short videos for YouTube."
Terrorism accomplishs different goals for different groups of people. For the American Government, terrorism lets them (try to) make many new laws to rule the citizens with.
An indication of what the French are doing? You have got to be kidding. Have you been so brainwashed by the American Media/Government?
"If you aren't doing anything wrong, why are you hiding what you are doing?"
You might want to ask the people/customers who use the services of a dna lab what they are hiding cause a lot of those services are going up to Canada cause of the disregard for privacy in the USA due to post 911 laws.
