I use those small drawstring backpacks to throw my phone and keys in. Anyway I placed it on the table and the security officer whos on his phone demanded I "open it". I asked him if he has two hands and he said it's easier for him, then says to the person on the other end of the phone "no not you".
my question is who's job is to open it. is it my responsibility? what happens if I decline too.
I've had a run in with a few of our top notch security team, such as one guy making me open the hard case for my sunglasses. Well, it had been a bad day so I got an attitude with him.
However, it would be A LOT easier for you to go with the flow rather than against it.
