Kelly Conlon and her daughter came to New York City the weekend after Thanksgiving as part of a Girl Scout field trip to Radio City Music Hall to see the Christmas Spectacular show. But while her daughter, other members of the Girl Scout troop and their mothers got to go enjoy the show, Conlon wasn't allowed to do so.
That's because to Madison Square Garden Entertainment, Conlon isn't just any mom. They had identified and zeroed in on her, as security guards approached her right as he got into the lobby.
"They knew my name before I told them. They knew the firm I was associated with before I told them. And they told me I was not allowed to be there," said Conlon.
Conlon is an associate with the New Jersey based law firm, Davis, Saperstein and Solomon, which for years has been involved in personal injury litigation against a restaurant venue now under the umbrella of MSG Entertainment.
"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," said Conlon.
But MSG said she was banned nonetheless — along with fellow attorneys in that firm and others.

I’m generally not the paranoid type since I can’t imagine why anyone would want to monitor me. I noticed my car insurance was significantly reduced this past year for no reason I can surmise since I’ve never told the insurance company I was driving any less. It made me suspicious that perhaps my insurance company was employing a private company to keep track of how much driving I do and that company was calling me to verify that the phone was always in my possession or something so they would get an accurate readout of my travels, but who knows.
I answer silently as well.
I let my machine answer the calls. If I am expecting a call, I answer, but I start out with a fake voice. If I hear a funny “blurp” sound I assume they are monitoring lots of calls and route the answered call to a live conniver. When they start talking,I keep on saying “hello,hello”...till they hang up. If it’s a person I know, I change my voice to normal.
They could probably monitor every call I make if they want to...but let them go after the low hanging fruit.
At least they don't do it in secret. You can see yourself on the screen at self-checkout.

There will always be the misuse of new inventions and discoveries.
Banishment didn’t work when some Pope banned the crossbow.
Gun laws up the wazoo, change nothing.
Facial recognition ban? I think our great and glorious leaders already wrote that law.
Not allowed to check out the hoards of noncitizens that cross our borders every day, but attend a large commercial function?
Check them out to the last detail, and record everything.
How about checking for known terrorists? Mass murderers? Late water bill payers?
Once that genie is out of the bottle...
A nation of laws; perhaps long ago.
Sadly now a nation of sophomores attempting to out BS each other for a possible bit of power/corruption.
Must be similar to the facial recognition software they use at the Red Hen and against Ms Huckabee... that’s why an armed society, is a polite society.
Who knew that in 2022 “1984”, “Enemy of the State”, and “Person of Interest” would be non-fiction?
In that pre-cog Tom Cruise movie it was facial tattoos.
Also, I’d imagine face masks (ahem, CoVID) would preclude the facial recognition scanners from making an accurate determination of whom is whom.
Heck, until she was singled out she was probably all for the AI tool which allows it to be done!
Yes, Karma does bite.
