I distinctly remember the firies driving behind me at Pearce while taxying in once after a piece of speed tape was dangling off a flap. Very much SOP to ask for it, doesn't necessarily mean you're worried about big parts of the aircraft coming apart. Obviously can't speak for the PIC but given their background may have asked for similar reasons.
