It can be done easily with one hand after a bit of practice. It would be extremely unlikely for this to happen any other way, so you can even sift though a dozen mixed rolls in the bottom of your bag and pick out the exposed ones. OTOH, it's no big deal to take ten seconds to fish the leaders out before processing, either.
