TSA will not care. The airport line management people might care. I would just explain this to them. Similar to a current United thread, you may have problems communicating in English, but you should be able to explain what you are trying to do. I have only once in MIA had a problem explaining to the line management people what was going on. I had to call a LEO to tell the line management employment to settle down. Sounds impressive but he arrived on a Segway. You lose ALL credibility arriving on a Segway.
