Think of it as a compliment that the FAA would actually consider flying in your aircraft.
I'll 2nd that, or it could be they're looking to shut you down! J/m Anyways, like above, treat them like any avg. Joe, or treat them like they know nothing, to make sure they actually know what they are doing. Just because they work for the FAA doesn't mean they are the best. I once checked out a F-18 pilot in a 172, I was impressed he did as well as he did, seeing how he hadn't flown a single in 5+yrs, and going from 700+kts to 70.
