Narrative:

A passenger was asked to step aside by 2 different flight attendants at 2 different times, so that they could do their jobs. Apparently irritated, he fired back at the galley flight attendant, using profanity, saying he was in everybody's way. The flight attendant tried to explain what she was doing and why she asked him to step aside, and he came back with 'don't even start with me...don't start with me because I'll finish it.' this appeared to be a direct threat, therefore, we asked for auths to handle this situation upon arrival in dfw.
