Expunging your record may help a little, HOWEVER do not ever tell an airline that it never happened. They are not going to ask you if you "have a clean record", they are going to ask "have you ever been arrested or convicted". Expunging your record will remove it from the court records for that jurisdiction...it will NOT remove your records from the FBI, CIA, and private databases that take regular snapshots of local, state, and federal court records. The federal airline background check is all about preventing terrorist events, it is not about your civil rights.

NOt true. This intel is not available to any public access, if expunged. To boot, it is a federal law that any "crime" expunged need not be told to any potential employer, even if asked(to paraphrase).
