Tmc07d, what is the objective of your question? If your trying to figure out if the TSA will find an offense in your record: TSA will find anything that comes up with your finger prints in the FBI database. TSA doesn't care about any offenses other than the 36 disqualifying ones.
If your trying to find out if a potential airline will find the offense: airlines will do the same FBI fingerprint background check and a regular background check. If your records were expunged, the background check will still show the offense you were convicted of but instead of the disposition reading "convicted" it will read "dismissed".
You legally can answer the question of have you ever been convicted of a crime with no. In fact quite a few airline apps say "do not answer yes if state law prohibits" regarding criminal background. Post conviction relief is well worth the money.
