probability · 68% confidence · 21 days

New signal: Leipzig airport bomb-disposal robot discovery with explosives-laden drone represents significant escalation in German extremist capability and threat level. Combined with jailed far-right youth terror cell and Munich car ramming case, creates acute pressure for swift federal surveillance/detention policy response. Historical precedent (post-2015 refugee crisis, post-2016 Berlin truck attack) shows German government typically announces police powers within 3–6 weeks. Raising from 81% to 85%.
