Most are offline. The newer biometric stuff is connected. And that's going to be more common in the not too distant future. That said, at least for the time being the TSA is focused on using the biometric stuff at airports that are more heavily tilted towards international departures because they are more likely to have the necessary image to compare against. For regular domestic trips there are much, much larger gaps in the pool of photos to compare against.

FWIW, you can also reach out to AskTSA on Twitter. They found a birthdate mismatch for me pretty quickly the one time I needed it fixed.
