They might be able to, for example, you manipulate supply chains so as to stop things like explosives or other equipment falling into the wrong hands.
If this legislation goes through they might be able to do what many intelligence agencies around the world do already, which is, you know, provide potential attackers with false information so they wouldn't commit a crime.
Such a weird thing for a country like Germany to be just doing now, uh with such weak leadership at a time when it's most under threat from you
People or or governments who want to commit evil acts on its territory.
Oh, good morning, Mike.
Where do we go from here?
That's exactly what the German interior minister was talking about just a couple of hours ago.
The main area that they're going into as a result of this drone which landed at Leipzig airport last week with 800 grams of Semtex explosives attached to it.
What the Germans are saying they're going to have to do now is double the number of anti-drone experts that they have.
So they're going to need some 300 now.
And they're going to upgrade and expand their operational bases.
So there'll be at least eight across the country.
Certainly, the fact that this happened, it was so close to actually being a real catastrophe there, Mike, because it had been many hours before this particular drone laden with explosives had been discovered.
They'd breached airport security for several hours.
And it was the same evening, in fact, that a cargo plane was forced to abort landing at that airport post.
because it almost collided with another unknown object in midair.
So it all has come really at a time when Germany was kind of hoping it would go away, I think is the best way to explain this, Mike.
But also NATO and the EU have been saying quite clearly, listen, we've all got to step up now.
This is happening far too often.
And incidentally, just two days after that near catastrophe in Leipzig, drones were detected over a military installation in Western Germany.
