Come on, really?
You honestly believe that a ramper brings up a potentially abnormal component of the aircraft and it is blown off?
The push back driver that is in direct communication with the crew is the one responsible for the walk around. That person directly communicates that the aircraft has been inspected and ready for pushback.
