Since the "so whaddya do?" question usually comes up first, and the overwhelming majority of people are satisfied with "I work in tech", it's often trivial to parlay this into something like "I'd offer to search your phone to prove a point, but I also have admin access to The Database, so I can just read/modify/delete your records anyway. No use in getting my fingerprints all over a physical device. Say, what's your email/phone number?" Forget about sharing their phone, they won't even share their phone number (or charge it from my laptop). Cowards.
