Narrative:
Passenger #1 in first class witnessed passenger #2 saying things under his breath every time the cockpit door was opened. Passenger said things like 'those (vulgar word) pilots,' and finally said 'there's going to be a blood bath on this flight.' passenger #1 moved to the aft part of main cabin to get away from him and told me he had been saying these things during the whole flight. I called the captain. Security met the flight in dfw. Security questioned him and he continued on to houston.
