Plus, I worked for the FAMS in their OP Center for 2 years and know they don't carry.

Only ones under TSA that carry are FAMS and OIG. That's it.

If a TSO carried on-duty and was seen.....local LEOs would be called, they would be disarmed, arrested, and carted off to jail.....and fired.
You mean not fired like Alvin Crabtree at DEN.
