== Michelle Leuthauser v United States ==

Michelle Leuthauser claimed that was raped by a TSA agent. The DOJ defended the TSA agent and claimed that the United States not waive sovereign immunity, and that the TSA agent was not an "officer", but the law they cited specifically defined officers as people given jurisdiction to perform searches, and the rape occurred while the agent was allegedly performing a search. The DOJ appealed to the 9th Circuit and the 9th Circuit heard their argument and reversed. ] (]) 14:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

I see this is already in the external links, but I'm making an effort to put CRS reports on the relevant talk pages, since they're so encyclopedic. http://wikileaks.org/CRS:_Federal_Tort_Claims_Act%2C_September_2%2C_2008

Delete duplicate information

These two sentences have the same meaning. There's no reason to say this twice. I've deleted the second sentence.

Federal courts have jurisdiction over such claims, but apply the law of the State "where the act or omission occurred". 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b).

In addition, under the FTCA, "Liability is determinable in accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred" (§1346(b)(1))

Westfall Act

Why is there no Misplaced Pages article about the Westfall Act (Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1988)? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 00:22, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

"Most torts" is misleading, FTCA is just for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death

The first sentence should be changed from "most torts" to "personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death". Standard Form 95 doesn't allow other types of claims.--TDKehoe (talk) 02:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
