Snack theft and racial insult disrupt Delta flight to JFK (thetravel.com)

A passenger aboard Delta Air Lines flight 1034 from Atlanta to New York JFK tried to steal snacks from the service cart about an hour into the flight. After crew corrected them, the passenger became aggressive and used a racial insult, prompting the crew to request ground staff meet the flight on arrival. The Boeing 737-900ER landed without further incident, and the passenger could face fines under Delta's contract of carriage and FAA zero-tolerance policy.
