At my son's school (in Australia) the pouch has to be scanned before it opens.

Most of these pouches can either be defeated by a wedge like widget or a strong magnet. If you search for your specific pouch I bet you can find the defeat technique online.

There’s several designs on 3d printing websites for yonder pouches.

Call me insane, but putting a strong magnet to a digital device sounds like you are just asking to wipe your data.

When we had magnetic spinning discs, sure. But most storage has been solid state for a while now.
