Considering the location has been photographed infinite times and lots of video before this decision, how can it ever be enforced?

True but claiming trademark is kinda of a stretch. They don't want photographs inside the building that's fine; but considering newspapers have published photographs of the trading floor since the technology of printing photos has existed, legally TPM could claim that the NYSE has been negligent with enforcing their trademark.
