Luftsicherheitsgesetz
The  (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  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. 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. See also
