I don't think so there is a lot more to flying armed than just showing your law enforcement credentials.

FB
I was trying to keep it simple as what the OP is referring to happened at the WTMD but do you mean....

checking it at the ticket counter in the lobby
showing your creds and the pink, green or yellow form to the agent
signing the appropriate form for the agent
obtaining your boarding pass
proceeding to the checkpoint only to enter thru the exit after showing the gatekeeper your bp, creds and little form

and then there's "presenting yourself" to the gate agent where you show your creds and the little form

(with all the above in plane view of those around you who if they were at a minimum o f50% observant, they would see it [but we're talking about the "average person" who is dumb as a post anyway ])
