More or less, yes. The UK government for example campaigned that people report anyone taking photographs, in case it's a "terrorist threat" or along the lines. Here's a poster from that campaign:
Also, the police and private security firms are harassing photographers for pretty much no reason, trying to get their equipment confiscated or their images deleted. There is also the recent surge of photographer = pervert mentality of people, which is not helped by bias in the press, especially tabloid newspapers.
It leads me to think that they often forget that the "real" terrorists will most likely not use DSLRs and such in public to document their nefarious plans, but use compact or mobile phone cameras due to being easy to conceal. Same with paedophiles, perverts and other deviants. You often see people take pictures with their phones or compact cameras without consequence in not only the public, but in private areas where photography is strictly forbidden. That in itself is a double standard, and that any potential terrorists will pretty much get away with it.
That said, a line has to drawn when it comes to someone using photography to intentionally harass someone. You will always get people who take it too far. However, I do not think it warrants a ban of public photography/videography etc.
