Well
1. They don't flash them to the passengers now. Flight crews should know who the armed passengers are.
2. Of course! Would you want them in a FAM uniform?
3. Never happen. Even today LEO on business with weapons check in with the flight crew. This is good.
4. Yes. They would not attract attention that way.
5. They do now.
6. Not sure how they get to the secured area but it happens today somehow.
They just need to be a little less obvious.
