UPDATE.....there have been NYTs reports that the wanted attacker had been on a no fly US list and had been on the internet searching for bomb making information....NONE of this passed to German security services....WHY NOT...???
THERE has been comments ALSO coming out of the US that German should have been surveilling him totally...and why did they lose him.......
Currently German security services carry a total of 550 on a list of potentially dangerous Islamists.....
In order to conduct round the clock total surveillance on these 550 individuals it would require a total of 15,000 well trained surveillance personnel....and that does not count their work against organized crime...ongoing at the same time as well as the standard espionage cases that require surveillance teams.
BTW....the German government had wanted to deport the attacker in July 2016 but could not as the Tunisian government would not issue a valid Tunisian passport in order to be deport under German law...
SUDDENLY after the attack and his being identified as Tunisian....SUDDENLY the passport arrived yesterday.....
