Unless you go for some super high level security clearance it likely won't come up on a typical background check. Customs just needs the paperwork so they can destroy it. Otherwise you could appeal the process.

This. There is no question on the SF-86 or its electronic equivalent (eQIP) about such violations. No impact, thus, in getting a TS/SCI clearance via a SSBI.
If you need a full-scope polygraph, they may be able to tell you're lying when they ask questions about ever breaking the law, etc. (Polys are incredibly unreliable, but they will likely ask things about "Have you ever broken the law?" and if you conceal that, they may think you're evasive--after all, the CBP officer was able to spot your evasiveness easily!--and if you tell the truth, it's possible the fact you lied to begin with will be a strike against you.)
