How to filter (key, value) with ng-repeat in AngularJs?

I am trying to do something like :

<div ng-controller="TestCtrl">
    <div ng-repeat="(k,v) in items | filter:hasSecurityId">
        {{k}} {{v.pos}}
    </div>
</div>

AngularJs Part:

function TestCtrl($scope) 
{
    $scope.items = {
                     'A2F0C7':{'secId':'12345', 'pos':'a20'},
                     'C8B3D1':{'pos':'b10'}
                   };

    $scope.hasSecurityId = function(k,v)
    {
       return v.hasOwnProperty('secId');
    }
}

But somehow, it is showing me all items. How can I filter on (key,value) ?

Angular filters can only be applied to arrays and not objects, from angular's API -

"Selects a subset of items from array and returns it as a new array."

You have two options here:
1) move $scope.items to an array or -
2) pre-filter the ng-repeat items, like this:

<div ng-repeat="(k,v) in filterSecId(items)">
    {{k}} {{v.pos}}
</div>

And on the Controller:

$scope.filterSecId = function(items) {
    var result = {};
    angular.forEach(items, function(value, key) {
        if (!value.hasOwnProperty('secId')) {
            result[key] = value;
        }
    });
    return result;
}
