You might have a point, and clearly are more experienced than I am about the inner workings of the german gov but, if they redirected what might be a dangerous letter, shouldn't they have sent it to another less bureaucratic institution instead of a random office where people would be affected for whatever dangerous stuff that's in there?
You're missing the plot twist: The exact point she (I think deliberately) left out: The letter didn't end up at some "random office" - it ended up exactly where such letters would be expected to end up.
"Such a letter" meaning, a letter which had a "to" address of an allegedly existing sinister government org, contained a tracking device and looked like it was put together by a mentally unstable person.
Of course, whoever actually received this letter would get the impression that it was sent by a person or group worth looking into by employees of the BfV - the exact, correct organisation, based in Cologne, that watches these types of fringe groups.
Nothing surprising happened here. She probably knows it and that's why she is making an effort to have it appear like the place her letter ended up at was "random". But it wasn't random whatsoever. It was the logical place her and similar letters will end up.
