I always present my passport w/ the picture page open and with the BP held over the opposite page, facing the ID checker. Some of them still used to manage to rifle through the visa pages.
However, since I started securing the visa pages of my passport with six paperclips, no ID checker has had the guts to begin removing any of the paperclips to have a look inside, yet.
