Sometimes when I've been asked with no apparent legitimate reason, I have asked what they intend to do with the information they see. Usually I get a shrug, or a mumbled response to the effect that "it's our policy". On other occasions when the person glances at it and hands it back without checking anything, I have asked if they have the names of all the bad guys memorized. Again, the dumbfoundment when they realize the stupidity of what they're being asked to do is entertaining.

All I ask is for a little common sense and logic. Is that too much?
