And there are those that clear folks under SecureFright.
All may have access to NCIC, especially those running SecureFright.
I would bet the day is coming, however, that all pax are run against NCIC by TSA. It may not be done at the checkpoint, but it will likely be done when your name is submitted by the airline for permission to issue a boarding pass. It will take but a (relatively) few lines of computer code (and my bet is that it exists, but is just turned off until something happens and a politician
demands that TSA start running checks).
