I've been asked to take my bag off my shoulder so the dog could sniff it. I wouldn't recommend this 'hack' — seems too likely to fail.

I'm surprised any bag would ever be allowed anywhere off the ground in their presence. K-9 officers generally just call for all people to rest their bags and luggage on the floor to one side. While the dog makes it's rounds, you're also being watched for body language and behaviour.
