I guess theoretically the TSOs should be familiar with them given that they're all issued one as their work ID, but you never know and they look slightly different agency to agency.
I've used my PIV card at many many airports, both small and large, across the US, and can't recall a single issue of non-acceptance in the past few years. However I have always been told to remove it from the badge holder, be it an RFID-blocker, or a simple plastic sleeve.
