I would simply tell them that i don't wish to discuss it.

I can't imagine why.

Hand the officer both cards and say "if you have any questions about my ID i would prefer not to answer them in front of my passengers". This clearly communicates your desire to the cop, but your passengers shouldn't catch on because they do not have the context to understand the comment that the officer does because he is holding your CHL. If you carry both IDs in a folding holder like this one:



It should work even better because it will not be obvious to the passengers that you gave him two IDs and they will be stuck wondering what questions the cop would have about your drivers license instead of wondering why you handed him 2 licenses which would make it easier for them to figure it out.

The only part of this we have control over is clearly communicating the desire for discretion to the officer.
