Ever heard of a DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired)? It means you were not over the legal limit, yet I was still issued a citation for driving with alcohol in my bloodstream. Legal limit was .01, I was .008. I attracted the attention of a cop driving behind me while I struggled to light my cigarette with a match. I had lost my lighter earlier that day. I'm sure having had a few beers at the time didn't help my driving dexterity. Anyway, THAT'S what happened almost 20 years ago. An attorney's website in the state it happened in says,
"a DWAI violation stays on your driving record for at least 10 years, and will also generally show up on a criminal history check for the rest of your life."
...Even though as I am finding out, it's not even "criminal" offense. This could also be a scare tactic being used by the law offices to get you to come to them. Also, this happened almost 20 years ago. Who knows, maybe this is a new development in this states law that it be handled that way.
What background check services do most airlines use? Other than FAA's FBI file thing.
