It wouldn't be too hard to rig a switch that looked official for an inspector to use that gives better control and a more professional appearance over stabbing a screwdriver in there to short the leads.

EVERY time I do this while inspecting a team, I tell the kids why I am doing it. I am doing it to check the relief valve is relieving when it is supposed to, at about 125psi. That is the ONLY time I want to see a team jump that switch. And I add that if I see them doing it on the field, I will dump their air prior to match startup, after consulting with the Head Ref.
