Rumored Statue of Liberty face-recognition supplier harasses and threatens journalist

Cognitec and its lawyers began to barrage Gallagher with emails and letters warning him that if he wrote about this, they’d sue him. When he asked Total Recall for clarification, they threatened to sue him, personally, for harassment. The National Park Service didn’t have much to say about the bid, saying “I’m not going to show my hand as far as what security technologies we have.” Go, security-through-obscurity! Hurrah for spending tax dollars without any transparency!
