I heard a story that a Fed was watching some fo or ca do the walkaround with his cell stuck against their head, and got some fine for incomplete preflight or something. I don't know if its true, but food for thought.
Things that bug me:
Running checklists w/o asking (Imma throw that in the brief now)
Poor airmanship (i.e. not being able to do a simple vfr pattern)
Putting the data card over the rudder trim knob.
