I never realized that cool-kids didn't close the ejection port cover.

Every Military trained shooter I have ever shot with has kept his dust cover closed when not shooting, to include snapping it shut after charging the rifle.
Further, the Massachusetts State Police STOP team probably has a pretty solid grasp on what they're doing.

As a civilian (with experience in an instructing capacity) I *always* keep my dust cover closed. It is ingrained in me from experience in sandy conditions, but even before that, I still always paid attention to details like that...
This is just common sense, and isn't something that I would expect to be made an issue of.
