And while monitoring the flight attendent interphone system, as usual, you hear:

"Where did the LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) sit?"

You think, "Well, we didn't get any information or details about an armed LEO on the jet"

Tower says "Airliner 123, taxi into position and hold"

What do you do?

Anything?

Concerns?

1. Are they supposed to report to the cockpit crew?
2. I would ask the FA why she is concerned. Did she see a pax with a gun.
3. If she saw someone with weapon, and we were not introduced I would indeed be concerned.
4. In my un-informed mind, I think I would ask to taxi back to the gate. And let Tower know why. My guess is they would not have us going back to the gate. We would get met by the authorities.

What would be your airlines reposnse? If you can tell us.
