It seems that the Air BENDERS were wiped out at the beginning of the 100 year war. There would probably have been spies, bounties, the whole bit, and air bending is easy to spot. Depending on how many genetic air nomads were benders (never clarified but considering their nomatic livestyle, it is highly likely that they produced offspring with other nations who could have been non-benders or benders of another element) It is possible that non-bending Air NOMADS could have survived in secret, but they would have, in the 100 years before the events of Avatar, either died out or incorperated into the cultures around them, essentially disappearing from the world long before the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender
