NYC Tourists Face Facial Recognition Near Statue of Liberty
Visitors at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are photographed by a new Visionics facial recognition system tied to a federal terror suspect database. Installed before Memorial Day, the cameras capture images as tourists approach security before ferry boarding. Governor Pataki defends the move as enhancing city safety amid threats to landmarks. The system scans about one million images per second. AC LU criticizes it as ineffective and insulting.
