Such laws do not exist in North America, but apply to many countries in the world.
Although agree with me, that rule is seldom observed (by passengers included).
I recall from some 50 years ago, Belgium had such a law.
Specifically prohibiting aerial photography of bridges, railroad yards, industrial areas.
Many countries prohibit also photography at airports.
Civilan airfields are "military facilities" (often with rusty MiG-15s in a corner).
I recall, my camera being grabbed and film taken from it, in Karachi...
I had taken picture of the crew on the airstairs, facing the airplane.

(1) Disable the "date-time" print of your shots.
(2) Blank view of registration/selcal in your cockpit, when taking pictures.
