A few things...
  • I've never seen customs scan a passport but I've never had to declare anything either
  • Immigration does check your name against some watch lists, etc but that is done automatically
  • Immigration does not have access to one's criminal record...at least it isn't something that automatically comes up. They probably could find out the information if they really need it for some reason.
