Jeff - around here through bolts are required. Especially for a two-story application. Drew is right - note it and refer it for an engineer's review.

Even though there is interior support near the house, decks don't collapse downward, they fall away from a structure with weight, particularly on the outside. You get a lot of people on those decks for a party, family affair, or whatever, and the weight is really relevant as far as those tap screws go. It would concern me, but I am no PE.
