There no requirement to report negotiable instruments or cash of $10000 or more when flying domestically.
I didn't even notice the requirement for international arrivals didn't included checks until I was bring back a $25,000 check from Norwegian Breakaway into Port of Miami, after a good week of BlackJack
I voluntarily reported it on the Customs forms, and had to go to secondary screening to have them enter it via computer.
The very next cruise into POM, I was asked about having $10K or more, and I was again directed to secondary screening, even though I had said I did not have $10K or more.
So, apparently the moral of that story is I should not have reported the first time, because I doubt they have a dog there that sniffs out single checks.

Should I be approached on a domestic only flight, on the jetway by an LEO, I would not answer their questions but start asking questions. Starting with "am I being detained"?
Know if you are in a one party or two party consent state before recording audio.. Also, I think a case could be made that once on the jetway a person is no longer in a public area but on private property . Tread carefully
Why would it matter if it was private property? It's not the property of CBP
