Did you read the heading Parks, Forests, and Public Property. Did you also read all the pages? Just don't stop and say it's only for the NARA.
Commercial videographers and photographers are given the same rights as the general public as long as they follow all the rules set forth. Some may not like it but nobody's rights have been taken away.
If you look at some of animal clips that are online taken at zoo's. Most of those zoo's in this country have rules similar to those of the NARA regarding commercial useage of video/photos and what the general public can and cannot do..

I have been asked to stop at the Alamo and the Mission's National Parks when I've used a tripod. Handheld is no problems. It all depends on the Park Ranger and how hard he wants to enforce or expand the rules.

Here's the rules on NPS Property and commercial photography.

Point is no one has lost his/her rights to video tape or snap photos in public places or around federal buildings. Due to 9/11 some overly zealous police and security staff over react when they see any one with camera, tripod and gear taking photos or video taping. Most probably do not have any idea what the laws are governing such activities.
The thing you won't see is a terrorist running around with thousands of dollars in equipment taking photos or video when he can use a cell phone to snap photos. Or go online and find the locations he wants on Google Earth.

@ Jason
No kidding! I asked before I went and looked up everything. Went in and thought I was about to lose everything I own after being behind a barrier and getting a shot of Obama in the rear of the White House. The D.C. SWAT team does not smile much.

Yikes.
Gawd that modern TV editing and vibe just creeps me out.
We (Americans) sold our souls for a boatload of rubber duckies.
It will make an interesting history lesson for someone someday. Or archaeological puzzle, depending on what happens with certain "decision-makers" in the near future...
To hell with all this stuff, I'm moving to Alaska.
