I have never had a problem with my PIV-II card. It is a standardized format, listed in the approved ID list, and is the exact same thing as what's hanging on the TSA TDC lanyards, so they know what it looks like.
Edit: I actually have the experience of having to turn down airport employee discounts at the airport concessions on a regular basis since they think my PIV-II badge makes me an airport employee. That's usually a reminder to me to take off my lanyard and put it back into my bag since, by sheer force of habit of 23 years of wearing the thing, the default action after taking it out is to put it around my neck.
