There is another scenario Ed. When there is any sort of mishap, maybe as simple as running over a runway light. My brother is one of the feds that show up and decide about things. ANY item such as that showing up changes it from a butt chewing to serious action against the pilot. I don't sweat ramp checks and such, but the check after a small incident can have some serious consequences, even if the discrepancy had absolutely nothing to do with the incident..
