An airline employee absolutely has the authority to tell you not to stray off the line and if their manual determines that the taking of photographs cannot ensure the safety of passengers, then the airline rep has the right to tell you to stop.
The imposition of an obligation on operators to have procedures is not the same as conferral of power on the operator's personnel to enforce those procedures.
I can tell anyone I like, anywhere I like, to stop doing something. Whether anyone is obliged to comply with what I tell them to do, and the basis of that obligation, are different questions.
I suspect Mick is closer to the mark. A condition of entry onto (leased) premises - like the tarmac of 'privatised' airports - is compliance with reasonable conditions and directions for the safety of people and operations.
