I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

Well, guess what, Germany is a federation. Some states even had capital punishment in their constitutions until a few years ago, yet the federal constitution still made it illegal. Will most likely be the case with this too. The state surveillance attempts have been far worse 20 years ago, but ultimately went nowhere for the most part.

Head of state or not, diplomatic immunity is not automatic and must be officially granted by the host state before the visit. This applies to foreign diplomats as well - the government of the country which these diplomats represent asks for them to be recognised as diplomats and the receiving country can either acknowledge this and grant them a diplomatic status or refuse to do so and in that case they won't have immunity.
