I have flown federal prisoners in my aircraft. One day while loading them on board one of them stopped and looked at me (I was standing outside the door) and he said, "If I could kill you right now, I would." then continued walking to his seat.
It didn't really bother me because he was chained up like Dr. Lector from Silence Of The Lambs, and there were quite a few guns in between us.
Makes for a good story to tell.

I once was told by ATC to "side-step" to a none paralell runway (VFR) which required a little turn inside the FAF, nothing dangerous or abnormal, just not common in everyday commercial flying. When we were at the gate I had a pax wait until everyone was off the plane to yell at me about how poorly I did my job and that I was dangerous for "getting so close to the ground to land." 
I couldnt stop laughing all day about it.

I don't care how hogtied and chained he is, if he makes threats like that to the aircrew, what might he start screaming right at rotation in order to cause panic among the pax??
Sorry, that guy and his Fed Marshall escort would have been OFF the airplane.

One could write a book on this
I remember a flight from FRA-JFK we hit CAT halfway across the pond and after we landed this 50 something man came up to us and said he was going to file a complaint because we deliberately flew into the turbulence and ruined his nap.
We never did hear anything .

"If I could kill you right now, I would."
"I can kill you, and some time in the next two hours I may . . ."
Let him ruminate on that for the duration of the flight.
(Okay, I wouldn't actually say that on a regular passenger flight - now if it was all prisoner transport . . .)

I wish I would have been that quick witted... It was an all prisoner transport.
That's the greatest come back I've heard yet.
