Here's the problem I see with passing notes to LEOs, or making special requests: Right off the bat, you are tellling them how to do the traffic stop. I would bet there are going to be LEOs that don't take kindly to being told how they are supposed to conduct their stop. (It's right up there with making special requests with the LEO as to what questions to ask or not to ask, or to do it away from the vehicle, or...well, I'm sure you get my point.)
Carrying concealed is not without some risk. If you're not prepared to confront the risk of being outed as a CHL in front of your passengers, then maybe the prudent thing to do might be to drive the speed limit and obey the traffic laws...or not carry when in that situation.

Re: Pulled over with a car full of people
Why would you do this if you're not carrying?When I have gotten pulled over in the past, whether carrying or not, I always hand the LEO my license and CCP
I've often wondered about questions like this...I would think that if one's employer had a written policy against carrying while engaged in company business, then one would think twice about putting themselves in a position that might expose themselves as being in violation of company rules. If there isn't a written policy, then what's the problem? So your co-workers find out that you carry...if you're carrying legally, and your employer doesn't have a problem with it, then why worry?
Passing off notes to the LEO is bound to be just as suspicious to your passengers as trying to hide the fact that you're carrying.
