I'm not sure that the ports of entry are set up to check (by name let
alone fingerprints) if people who enter the US have ever been arrested
in the US (on non-federal charges at least). That would require that
local police departments report to the feds all aliens they arrest.
Local PDs make a point to not check the immigration status of the aliens
they arrest (that'd be "racist", since they're virtually all Mexican
illegals). But you being European, you may not enjoy the privileges
granted to the wetbacks.
However, I read that border agents have information on outstanding warrants.

And that would also happen if they turned you away at the port of entry.
So, you've got nothing to lose by going with the waiver option. |
