FACT PATTERN ANALYSIS SECTION 2 (Stаtutоry Interpretаtiоn)(70 minutes recоmmended)After pаssing through the metal detector at an airport security screening, Petra Pericles was informed that a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screener needed to conduct a physical search of her person and suitcase. But, Pericles complains, the TSA screener was "unnecessarily rough" in searching her jacket for evidence of prohibited items or chemicals and then pushed her away from her suitcase as she was trying to retrieve it, causing her to fall and injure herself. Pericles claims that the TSA screener is responsible for an intentional tort and that this allows her to sue the United States government (because TSA is a federal agency, located within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security). But it is not entirely clear she can sue the U.S. government - even if she can provide evidence to support her claim that TSA screener committed an intentional tort. Whether she can do so depends on the answer to a statutory interpretation problem concerning the meaning of the Federal Tort Claims Act (the FTCA). On the one hand, the FTCA helps many individuals who - like Pericles - wish to bring a tort suit against the U.S. government - because it waives the "sovereign immunity" that the U.S. government typically has against such suits. Congress, in other words, can let the United States government be sued for torts, and in the FTCA, it has done so. However, a part of the FTCA, the "intentional tort claims exception," codified as 26 U.S.C. §2680(h), makes matters a little more complex when one wishes to sue the federal government for the commission of an intentional tort. The statutory provision says that someone cannot sue the government for an intentional tort under all circumstances. It depends on who in the U.S. government she claims committed that intentional tort. In short, 26 U.S.C. §2680(h) does not allow her to sue for an intentional tort allegedly committed by ordinary "employee" of the U.S. government. On the other hand, another part of 26 U.S.C. §2680(h) - the "law enforcement proviso" - does allow her sue for most of these intentional torts (including the one Pericles is complaining about) when the person who allegedly committed the tort was not simply an employee, but an "'investigative or law enforcement officer" - which the statute defines as "any officer of the United States who is empowered by law to execute searches, to seize evidence, or to make arrests for violations of Federal law." As noted below (in the section on legislative history), Congress did not want the FTCA to make the U.S. government liable for the intentional torts that might be committed by any federal employee anywhere in the federal government, but - after including this broad exception for intentional torts - it later decided, in the wake of certain incidents where police searched the wrong house with "no knock warrants" that, at least for certain types of intentional torts committed by "investigative or law enforcement officers," individuals need to be able to sue the U.S. government and recover damages. So the statutory interpretation question here is the following: Is the TSA screener Pericles blames for the tortious conduct an "employee" or rather "an investigative or law enforcement officer" as 26 U.S.C. §2680(h) defines that term? The U.S. claims that the TSA screener is an "employee," so Pericles may not sue. It claims that the provision allowing suits for torts by "investigative or law enforcement officers" applies only those who conduct searches in criminal investigations not routine administrative searches like those conducted by TSA screeners (and also that many TSA searches are not for "violations of federal law" but for more minor violations of administrative airport rules). Pericles, not surprisingly, claims the TSA is an "investigative or law enforcement officer," so that she can sue. She argues that, especially given the searches they sometimes conduct of passengers, they fit the definition of "investigative or law enforcement officers" in 26 U.S.C. §2680(h). Please write an essay using the tools of statutory interpretation we've studied in this class (where relevant) to set forth arguments for both Pericles's position and that of the U.S. government.
