American Airlines worker accused of threatening TSA agent

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An American Airlines worker is accused of fighting with officers at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and threatening to kill a Transportation Security Administration officer.

Jordan Moore was traveling on his own three months ago.

TSA officers refused to let Moore through a pre-check without the proper ticket in March, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday.

Moore is accused of using a racial slur and threatening to kill one officer.

Officers banned him from flying that day, but Moore returned two hours later.

Moore cursed at officers and violently resisted arrest when officers refused to let him through, according to the indictment.

“It took approximately five CMPD officers to subdue Moore and place him in restraints," according to the indictment.

"We are cooperating with law enforcement and have suspended the employee pending the investigation," American Airlines officials said.
