A passenger who thought he was entitled to a meal on a flight, not just pretzels, got into a squabble that let to police meeting the plane when it landed.

Law enforcement officials greeted American Airlines Flight 1842 from Las Vegas when it landed this morning at Miami International Airport.

Police cruisers were waiting for the plane when it landed this morning.
Authorities said a Platinum level frequent flyer passenger entered the galley because he thought he was entitled to a meal, not just pretzels.

When the flight attendant said no, another attendant reportedly pushed the passenger and told him to leave the galley.

FBI investigators said the flight attendant covered his name badge during the altercation, and the passenger grabbed the flight attendant's pen to try to identify the flight attendant that way.

The passenger then sat down and complained to the senior flight attendant, according to investigators.

Police met the jet at MIA as a precaution. According to the FBI, the passenger will not be charged.
