3d Cir: Court, En Banc, Will Reconsider Shielding TSA Screeners from Liability
Back in July, I posted that the 3rd Circuit held TSA screeners were not law enforcement officers for purposes of the Federal Tort Claims Act. As a result, claims related to their conduct were barred by sovereign immunity. Now the court has decided to review the 2-1 decision en banc on February 20, 2019. U.S. News has the story.
