Not debating the utility of such rules, but if they were on airport property, the airport authority has the right to decide if they wish to allow photography or not. (No doubt the TSA powers-that-be applies plenty of pressure to have such a rule so their fat Secret Service Wannabes will have something to enforce).

That said such a rule would not make it illegal, but non-compliance would give security a reason to escort you off said property, making it extremely difficult to catch your plane.

As others have pointed out it is not a police state and property owners can still call the shots on their land. (We'll sort of).
