I have to agree with Emily. You have to sort of make yourself stand out as a photographer with good intentions, i.e., business card visible, photo vest, or in my case a gadget bag over my shoulder to let others know who I am and what I'm doing. When I go around with just my camera on my neckstrap in front of me, I get the same concerns. I guess in today's climate people are concerned about who is photographing what and for what purpose.
