Well, the companies that make the software would like everyone to believe they have reached this goal but they still have tons of false positives and negatives so it has a ways to go. I gather that under controlled conditions it works pretty well but for large crowds it's still not there yet. Not allowing photographs of crowds seems like a very strange reaction because crowds will be photographed anyway - just on the sly - and the results analyzed at leisure.
