[Nolan Batman] How is the League of Shadows not seen as a terrorist group?

Maybe I shouldn't be assuming that NYC and 9/11 happened in the Nolanverse, but since New York exists in the DC Universe as well as Gotham, I figure they both might coexist in Nolan's world too. So anyway, assuming that this world is as paranoid about terrorism as the real world is, how could something like the League of Shadows infiltrate the city so thoroughly in Begins and in Rises? After the Scarecrow fear gas incident, wouldn't the city be put under martial law for a while? And just how well known was Bane supposed to be anyway? CIA knew his name and that he wore a mask, and Alfred dug up all that stuff about him coming from the Pit. Was he well known to the public ala ISIS or Bin Laden?

Because people don't know they exist. Other terrorist groups announce themselves, ISIS actually has a quarterly magazine. But the league is 100% secret, members willing to kill themselves rather than expose the identity of their group to the authorities.
