Fair, but depending on the inspector you end up investigating they can be pretty ruthless. I've met some inspectors that want nothing more than to increase the level of safety in aviation, and I've met inspectors hell bent on taking pilot certificates away. It just depends on the FSDO and it depends on the inspector. If I ever had a Fort Worth controller declare for me I'd be REALLY worried about my certificates if an inspector got involved. That FSDO has a lot of people that are more interested in grounding pilots than anything else.

EDIT: I guess this can go either way, with the inspector telling you "Why didn't you just declare?" Simply put, it's something a lot of guys get really worried about I think because there ARE guys at the FSDO's that want nothing more than to take your certificates away from you. Kellwolf can tell you about a guy like that.
