Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton is reportedly a jerk at airport security. The Heisman Trophy winner who led the Carolina Panthers to a Super Bowl 50 appearance, who has the most career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, apparently tried to skip the queue but TSA wasn’t having it.

It’s not the first time he’s been treated just like anyone else at the checkpoint.
Good to see @camnewton doesn’t get special treatment from TSA. #ipadswabbed (@ atlanta_airport w/ 147 others) http://t.co/d0Ap0mfL10

What’s interesting to me is that report that he was queueing for CLEAR. Several years ago he did not even have PreCheck. He still may not, in fact CLEAR can be more useful to those who do not since you can skip long lines even though you still get the same screening. It’s also interesting that he’s reported to have gotten into an altercation with TSA rather than with CLEAR employees.
Maybe it is the height, shades or the frosted tip goatee but Cam Newton wasn’t hard to spot at Charlotte Douglas… despite his best efforts pic.twitter.com/zAcMYZDn1n

While at the University of Florida, Newton was arrested for stealing a laptop. Charges were dropped after he completed a pretrial diversion program. Since this happened 17 years ago it shouldn’t be an issue for expedited security programs.
Always one to court controversy, Newton recently criticized women who “can’t cook” and “don’t know when to be quiet” and criticized former teammates on the Carolina Panthers as a “locker room of losers” as well as Bill Belichick for his relationship with a 24-year-old, suggesting it was a distraction from football responsibilities. Sounds like a great role model for his eight children with multiple partners.
