Jeff Schwartz was quoted in a Forbes article discussing the surveillance equipment industry, and how some high-profile reputation problems—such as alleged violations of U.S. export laws currently under investigation—could potentially unsettle the booming industry, with Congress considering tighter export laws as a next step.
“Putting aside the question of whether the U.S. should subject more surveillance devices, software and technology to export restrictions, the pending investigations are a clear reminder that diversion (of technology) to sanctioned countries or entities is a risk for all exporters,” Schwartz said.
