Greg,
Years ago there was a crotchety old AHJ who worked around here. You could never ever get a passing sticker the first time with him. Anyway, I wired up a very large detached garage with 4 or 5 garage doors, and dozen of receptacles about 4' off floor height. Well Walter came on my job for a final inspection and saw the garage door opener recpt. not GFI protected and failed my job. I asked nicely why and he said that he wanted GFI protection for those outlets. I told him it wasn't code, but he was insisting that I do it. He gave me the "What If?" someone plugged into that recpt. and I said, why would they when I had 15 other recpts. down low.
Long story short, I gave him copies of pictures from IAEI showing the that GDO recpt. did not have to be GFI protected. I passed but he always had it in for me after that time.
