Comment on German woman uses an AirTag to find a government arm that doesn't existparent

Comments

She sent a letter to a government address famous in fringe conspiracy circles, containing an electronic device. Clearly her letter was flagged as a possible threat and redirected to the proper authority equipped to deal with such envelopes. Think like someone sending a strange electronic device to the Whitehouse.

I am sorry to say I feel this seems like cosplay journalism.

I don't know if she specifies it but, did she track it along the way? Also, it's just an airtag, why would it be sent to the constitution protection office directly and not to another department of the interior ministry (i.e EOD or any other place). Everything about this sounds weird tbh

I don't follow why you think anything about this is weird. I tried to explain that what happened here was what anyone with a little knowledge about Germany and its government agency would expect to happen. She either feigns ignorance in order to make this look like huge story, or she's really so ignorant as to not know that not all government agencies in Germany are seated in Berlin. She should have done more research.
