I recall an occasion, at London Gatwick airport, a few years ago, where an extra security check was made of hand baggage at the departure gate. Screens had be positioned around tables.
The security girl took my old manual SLR camera (manual except for battery powered light meter) and asked me to switch the camera on.
It took some explaining to her that she was asking the impossible, and that no amount of coaxing could turn a manual camera "on".
With many passengers wathching and listening, I think that her embarassment was sufficient to let me proceed to the plane.
