Rick,
Have you heard of even 1 case where the FAA knew something that was in a veterans va records? Just one. Could they get that information if they had a court order? Sure. Do they pull from VA records for every medical? No.
Honestly is the best policy because it is the people closest to you that will turn you in, not some phantom computer scan at the FAA.
If I am wrong then show me an example, just 1.
