This incident got missed, probably due to the problems with the
new List Host but it points out a problem that seems to
be taken seriously by Germany's air traffic control but pooh-
poohed by American, British and Canadian control and their air
forces.

I wonder why that is? Is Germany perhaps not part of the clique
and is going it alone? Or is it because perhaps they take these
seriously unlike the other three who are comfortable with their
"pose no threat to national security" mantras?

If there is someone in Germany looking into this incident I'd
appreciate additional information if there is an investigation.
This could be used, perhaps, as leverage with the ABC.

Ceratainly NARCAP would be interested.
