Federal Air Marshalls have been on US flights since 1962. Took on a slightly different meaning after 2001. Obviously, they were not TSA prior to TSA existing. Below is a decent history. Note the reactions of FAMs after 9/11.

I think you have about a 10 times greater chance of having cockpit crew with weapon than meeting a FAM.
