Based on the information posted by OP, I'm not sure whether it was a LEO
or someone "posing" as a LEO.
You can easily buy a similar shield/badge off the street. Heck you can buy
shirts/t-shirt/caps saying "FBI/LAPD/NYPD" etc.
Personally as a flying passenger, I wouldn't worry about someone with a knife
on board.
