1. After an instrument approach into Buffalo, New York in late November of this year an airplane in which you were a passenger hit a patch of clear ice and skidded off the runway and hit a large lighted runway sign just off the side of one of the high-speed taxiways. As a result, you are injured. The airport has approach and tower controllers, employed by the Federal Aviation Administration, who failed to warn approaching aircraft of the possibility of ice even though they were aware it may be a problem as the tower controllers had instructed a truck to drive the length of the runway and taxiways looking for possible weather related hazards. If you decide to sue the controllers under a negligence cause of action, which would be the best body of law to bring the case?

A. The Warsaw Convention

B. The Federal Torts Claim Act
