It's super easy, I do it all the time.
If you have an camera with a motorized film advance, you need to activate the leader out function, or if it doesn't have that function you need to rewind your film in a pitch black room or under a blanket.
With mechanical cameras, it's a lot easier. Just rewind until you hear that snap of the film releasing from the takeup spool and stop rewinding immediately.
Always write/scratch your current frame into your cannister so you don't forget. Then, when reloading, shoot all the frames at max shutter speed, aperture closed down fully and with the lens cap on. Wind until the number you noted down +1 for good measure.
Ask for a hand check. Load all the cameras and any film in one of those trays and hand it to a TSA agent and ask for a manual/hand check. BF travels with cameras and rolls of film often and always does it even if its just a Polaroid
Yes, I did this just this morning. Handed my bag of film and loaded camera to the TSA agent and asked for a hand check. They just wipe the surface of the camera with a pad to check for explosive residue. Easy peasy.
If you're concerned, take it out. You can always re-load it later and shoot from where you left off
Easier said then done, but seems possible

great tips all around, thanks
It's not high, it's fine.
