What things could and should they have done here, if pointing out the author's naivete is unacceptable victim-blaming? The assassins are active in Germany because that's where their targets go, and the author's behavior both before and after the attack seems to have foreclosed on any effective policing.

Effective policing happens before someone is poisoned. Everything after is a bandaid.

Can you be somewhat specific about what could be done with regard to the situation in Germany today?

The first step is to take responsibility and not to victim blame. American counter-intel would be livid about this kind of thing. Sure it happens but attitude counts for alot and counter-intel in Germany just seems like they have alot of ownership and Esprit de corps.
