We have this debate at work from time to time, guys who get all sensitive when you are using your phone around ejection seats or explosives on canopies, but nothing has ever been proven and there are no documented instances.
I went to school for avionics, and the general consensus among the profs was that they just want you to pay attention during critical phases.
