2 GOV ARMED AGENTS FAILED TO PROPERLY IDENT THEMSELVES TO THE FLT ATTENDANT OR THE FLC.

Narrative

BEFORE BOARDING; TOLD THAT A 'VIP' WAS TRAVELING. DISCOVERED VIP WAS UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL. AFTER FLT WAS COMPLETED; CAPT DISCOVERED THAT SHE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY 2 SECURITY PERSONNEL. IT WAS THEN THAT WE REALIZED WE MUST HAVE HAD 2 ARMED INDIVIDUALS ON THE FLT; AND WE HAD NO NOTIFICATION TO FLT ATTENDANT OR PIC. AS THIS IS A VIOLATION OF OUR OPS MANUAL; I ASKED OUR OPS TO LOOK INTO IT. LATER THE NEXT DAY; I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROPER FORMS WERE FILLED OUT; THAT THE AGENTS WERE BRIEFED TO TELL THE FLT ATTENDANT THAT THEY WERE ARMED; AND THAT THEY DID NOT DO SO. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TERMINAL. STILL LATER THE NEXT DAY; I WAS TOLD THAT THE RAMP SUPVR DID KNOW THAT THE ESCORT WAS ARMED; AND HE TOLD OUR FLT ATTENDANT THAT WE HAD '2 LEG PAX IN ROW 4;' ('LEG' BEING THE CODE WORD FOR 'ARMED INDIVIDUAL'). NEEDLESS TO SAY; NO ONE TOLD US; THE FLC; THAT THAT WAS THE CODE; SO THE FLT ATTENDANT THOUGHT HE MEANT '2 PAX WITH HURT LEGS;' ETC. NOT ONLY THAT; THEY DID NOT SIT IN THEIR ASSIGNED SEATS (FLT ATTENDANT ASKED 2 FOLKS IN ROW 4 IF THEIR LEGS WERE OK). ALSO; OF COURSE; THEY DID NOT DISPLAY THEIR YELLOW BOARDING PASSES TO THE FLT ATTENDANT (AS REQUIRED).
