If the feds detect a discrepancy, and determine it to be deliberate misrepresentation, you'll at best be invited to accept revocation of any and all certificates in return for the removal of the threat of federal felony charges and prison time.
A pardon or expungement does not make it a good idea to exclude information either, it will still be worse than frowned upon.
I know someone who this happened to and it was NOT pretty.
I initially followed the latter advice of putting no and then talking to the AME to figure out what to finally do, I went to the appointment with everything relevant to it and they changed the answer and filled in details relevant to it.
I got issued the medical, I think I'm good but we will see if anything comes in the 60 days, hoping not.
