Both. Warrants are indexed by name, date of birth, gender, race, social security number, drivers license number, vehicle license numbers associated with the accused person, and other data. Many system are designed to alert the operators to "near misses," when the information used in the query is off by only a few letters or numbers. When that happens, the officer looks at the information in the warrant and that of the person being held more closely, to see if there is in fact a match.

When you Fly on a Airline in the US do they check for Arrest warrants?

I guess it would depend on the reason for your warrant. I guess a traffic warrant and possibly parking ones wouldn't be. But as long as the airline doesn't ask for a driver's license number and your social then why would they check for warrants... they just want your money. - All a law enforcement officer needs to check for warrants is your full name and date of birth. They do not need your social security number, although that helps if your name is a common one such as "John Smith", for example. Airlines don't check for arrest warrants, but US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does check for warrants (I presume they check only for felonies as so many people have misdemeanor warrants that checking for those would bog down the system and the airport). That happens when you fly into the United States. Customs swipes your passport and they will know if you are wanted. Probably some sort of flag shows up on your passport if you've committed a felony.
