The logbook is your personal document. It becomes a legal document

You do not have to show your logbook to the FAA at a ramp check.

Even so, I cannot imagine an FAA inspector going through your logbook
to see if every flight you ever made was legal or not. At most, he will
look to see when your last BFR was. If it is overdue, the most likely
action is that he will tell you that you need a BFR and encourage you
to get one.

Most FAA inspectors in my experience are not jerks, but people
genuinely interested in aviation safety. Yes, there are a few jerks out
there, but those guys will find an excuse to hang you no matter what
you do. And I am not saying that just because the FAA does a lot of
training flights out of our flight school. :-)
