Bhag,
Didn't know you went to the other side of the C concourse! Congrats!
If maintenance cleared the discrepancy in the logbook, the crew would be clear of any FAA action regardless of whether or not the inspection had actually been performed or not. A logbook signoff is the only way crews can determine a required maintenance action has been completed. So, as long as you didn't fly with an open discrepancy concerning a lightning strike, you're in the clear!
