Is our the government, big brother and/or airlines now checking that DHS consolidated database for Criminal Background checks/warrant checks, immigration violations etc...

Meaning if someone flew on a short domestic flight he/she could be arrested for a outstanding warrant or immigration violation.

If it is not happening yet, I bet its only a matter of time.... No civil rights left in US.
As an industry person with the knowledge, I can advise you that airlines currently do not have the ability to do what you advise. I can also tell you that in most cases, carriers WILL NOT give out passenger information without a warrant, as that is the policy. However, please note that LEO's with very good people skills and agents with a thing for LEO's could find themselves in a grey area here.
