Just curious as I'm not as read up on CAPPS11 as I should be. If an individual attempts to purchase a ticket, gets the background and wants check run on him/her and a warrant is outstanding (for whatever reason) will the airline or TSA then notify the local police department in order to initiate arrest?
Does anyone know?

As far as I understand it, it's the TSA that will be running the program and the airlines that will only be providing information necessary to run the background checks. Therefore, if a gov't agency (the TSA) runs the background and finds a flaw with your record, I would assume the gov't (whoever has jurisdiction over the person in question, e.g., if it's a state warrant, state police/federal warrant, federal police) would come and get ya.
