FYI all, TSA does not conduct a CHRC nor does the FAA. The airline submits your prints and evaluates the "Hits" that are returned. TSA never touches it. The Transportation Security Clearinghouse, run by AAAE, routed the prints to the FBI and posts the results on a secure website for the airline to review. The only part of the backround check that TSA directly adjudicates is the Security Threat Assessment (STA). This portion of the check consists of comparing your biographical data to certain sub-sets of the watchlist and to immigration databases. The result will be an "issue" or "Do not issue" order to the airline or airport.
