There has been a rash of similar prohibitions in shopping malls - for no reason other than they can (according to property law).

Yes, I would agree to a point, but, if the OP was using a good quality camera phone to make photos, then the transport policewould assume he's probably making a phone call.
As for shopping mals, that can be tricky.
A new shopping area opened in Lisburn about two years back and on my way to work one winters morning I decided to make a few photos. No one approached me as I made my photos. However, later in the day, I heard that a photographer was asked to stop making photos in the area due to possible security risks.
I often wonder if some of these employers are employing illegal staff and don't want to be found out?
