Don't be too sure of that. I run backgrounds every ~2 months or so and that sort of stuff comes up. I would have thought that the feds would be at least as thorough as a TransUnion background check is. They do, after all, have automated access to far more interesting databases than TU does. I think.

That said, as you say, it's an infraction so it's about as exciting as a parking ticket in terms of the blip on the radar. I'd expect CBP to assume it was something more exciting though. They don't tend to be the brightest bulbs in the sockets.
