Hi

in Germany there is a new law which allowes the chief-of-staff of the German Air Force to order that fighters force civilian aircrafts to land, to shoot for warning, to fore civilian aircrafts aside or to threaten the civilian aircrafts with the use of weapons.

The Federal Secretary of Denfense, or a deputy, is allowed to order that fighters attack the aircraft and to shoot it down.
