Karlsruhe slaps down the government:
The legislator would not have been allowed to pass this far-reaching provision in the Aviation Security Act at all, the constitutional judges further criticized. Article 35 of the Basic Law only authorizes the deployment of the Bundeswehr in the event of disasters and accidents, the court clarified.
Fortunately, this absurd law is now off the table - provided the government follows the directive. At least its harshest representative - Schily - is no longer in office, hopefully his successors have more sense (what am I telling myself - now the wheelchair user is in charge ...)
