    My favorite is:

    “So take off your pants. Right here, right now.”

    Gets the point across quickly and viscerally.

        Take a photo, and use that for face ID.

        Or call the cops.

        Inspect, very carefully, and point out every detail of course

      This is good but I prefer demanding they unlock their phone and hand it to me.

      Jokes on you, not wearing any (and how would you know on the other side of a cable) ;)

      I get your point but I think there are higher levels here than just a nudity taboo.

        The point is to counter the dumb “I have nothing to hide” statement. It simply isn’t true. If that evolves into a deeper convo, good.

          This exactly. It’s meant to open up the conversation.
