  • The Luftsicherheitsgesetz (German for Aviation Security Act) is a German law created in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks which came into force on 2005-01-15. § 14 (3) would have granted the Bundeswehr permission to engage commercial airliners once their designation as a weapon by highjackers had become apparent. However, the clause was declared unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany on 2005-02-15. The court affirmed that the sacrifice of innocent lives to the benefit of another group violated the unconditionally protected human dignity under Article 1 of the German Constitution.
  • Das Luftsicherheitsgesetz ist ein deutsches Bundesgesetz, das Flugzeugentführungen, terroristische Anschläge auf sowie Sabotageakte gegen den Luftverkehr verhindern und dadurch die Luftsicherheit erhöhen soll. Am 15. Februar 2006 entschied das Bundesverfassungsgericht, dass § 14 Absatz 3 des Luftsicherheitsgesetzes gegen das Grundrecht auf Leben (Artikel 2 Absatz 2 Grundgesetz) und gegen die Menschenwürde (Artikel 1 Grundgesetz) verstößt und deshalb in vollem Umfang verfassungswidrig und nichtig ist.
