Presumably you are aware of this, but let me spell it out: The MP from that article hasn&#x27;t been involved in any violent crime, much less anything resembling terrorism. She&#x27;s just an active participant of civil society and an opponent of the police state. Of course, unlike actual terrorists, this makes her a real threat.<p>We have the same thing in Germany, the domestic intelligence services keeping tabs on MPs. Of course Germany has a rich tradition in this kind of behaviour.
