>as if the local agencies are somehow less dangerous

And in what way are they dangerous? And if not these experts, who should do this (expert) work?

Who do these experts report to? The individual parlamentarian (who is supposed to be independent), or the individual parties, or the governing coalition, or unknown third parties?

At the moment, this is not even well disclosed.

In what way are foreign agencies dangerous? Now remember that they do the same thing.

The other question is pretty easy: Every involved party should use own trusted experts for the hardware/software part it manages.

If you are a parlamentarian and it feels suspicious to you that a secret service wants to get your phone: Don't hand it.

Again, the German BSI does not the same thing as the Russian GRU/SWR.

Again, it's not about the BSI.

People can read on their own that it is about the BSI, contrary to your propaganda. Go back to the Spiegel or Zeit forums, where Russian trolls usually spend their time.
