SECRET 3 Security Instructions, but high officials, such as ministers, are presumed, or presume themselves to be, too important to be lectured on security. Some of the worst breaches of security are committed by Ministers. As an example, a secret BfV report was sent to a Minister concerning a member of his staff. The Minister immediately called for the member concerned and showed him the BfV report. Security Discipline 7. Until recently there was no Federal Law under which offenders against security regulations could be punished.
