Sometimes I do that, if I have to wait in line and I have time to arrange all of my documents. But when the line moves quickly or there is no line, the passport is the easiest thing to get out of my pocket. My residence card is jammed into my wallet, and it takes a few more seconds to take out. So sometimes they see the passport first.
