TSA agents primarily focus on security screening for travelers at airports and do not actively check for misdemeanor warrants during their routine procedures. However, if law enforcement is present at the airport or if a TSA agent identifies a potential issue, they may notify authorities who can check for warrants. It's also possible that if someone is flagged in the system for other reasons, a warrant could be discovered. Overall, while it's not their main responsibility, TSA agents can inadvertently be involved in warrant checks.
