Germany's government on Wednesday approved the use of ankle bracelets to monitor extremists considered potentially dangerous as it moves to get tough on suspected jihadists after the Berlin truck attack.

The proposed measure would allow the federal criminal police to electronically track the movements of a person deemed a security threat, even before they have been convicted of a crime.

"Ankle bracelets are not a panacea but they are an important instrument to facilitate the surveillance of dangerous people," Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said after the cabinet agreed to a change in the law to allow the measure.

In America this would be called "racial profiling" or "Islamophobic" yet Frau Merkel has the audacity to criticize America's methods of controlling terrorism?

I think suspected jihadist should be fitted with necklaces like those used on the prisoners in the opening of The Running Man, and triggered by a remote.

Well, that's that. No more terrorism, yup.
