Hi Everyone,

I just found out I have a bench warrant in CA. Failure to appear but was actually a mistake and didn't know I've had it for almost a year. I need to be in Atlanta by Friday.

Consulted with an attorney, doubtful they will be able to recall in the time/may have to show up in person and I can't miss the trip due to work reasons (indie contractor, film industry).

Sparing the details, not taking the flight isn't an option. I can't risk having an issue that would prevent me from getting on the flight so I am weighting options at the moment.

I've seen TONS of posts online about traveling with a warrant and other than not risking it and a bunch of posts saying that TSA may or may not check warrants there is little first hand information.

Has anyone flied with a warrant domestically? If so, could you relay your experience and what seemed to work (or didn't)?

I've heard other information saying fly from the next state over to limit exposure to local law enforcement data bases. Any truth to this?

Any help, greatly appreciated!
