They're supposed to have proper credentials and notify the captain.

On the other question, LEO's and FAM's are mutually exclusive terms. You get the occasional "Hazzard County" Sheriff or Dept of Agriculture (seriously) traveling with weapon and he's classified as a LEO. But a FAM is specifically a Federal Air Marshall onboard to work the flight.

Related question: Say you have concerns, how do you handle it? Who do you talk to?

I'll give my answer a little later.

Concerns??? Is this still the same question? If the F/A is absolutley suer that she saw a weapon on an individual and no one has introduced themselves to the cockpit crew:
1. reverify with the F/A about what she saw.
2. ask the captain if anyone introduced themself
3. inform the captain that the F/A swears that the person on 3C has a weapon on themselves.
4. ask the captain if he wants me to contact ground/tower.

I suppose at that time if the tower is made aware, I imagine we would be given instructions to taxi to a holding area where we would be met by individuals with much bigger guns.
