The Luftsicherheitsgesetz (German for Aviation Security Act) is a German law created in response to the September 11 attacks which came into force on 2005-01-15. § 14 (3) would have granted the Bundeswehr permission to use weapons against commercial airliners once their designation as a weapon by hijackers had become apparent. However, the clause was declared unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court on 15 February 2006.[1] 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.
