Will my probation officer know if I am leaving the US for a trip?

Full question:

I am on 1 year probation (no drugs, or sex, or violence were invloved). I live in the US. If I travel in the US for 3-4 days without my PO knowing about it (I am only going to meet with with them for the first time which is 2 days before my booked trip, that I had booked 2 months ago) to your knowledge, does it show somehow in the computer at the airport, or is it just a risk I am taking for it to be found out?
