Yes; the royal family does leave a poor taste in one's mouth, generally.

I'd love a reference to where a citizen's phone has been seized, if I missed it in this article I apologize.

If you're traveling to the US for work and are not a citizen, ship your devices to where you'll be staying. Bring a burner for the flight. Sorry we're such a shithole.

That just sounds like masking with extra steps to be honest. Also, removing humor from every day actions sounds dismal. Just because we're autistic doesn't mean we don't like to laugh.

This is only in my experience, and I can only speak as to what works for me and my Autism/ADHD. Medication and cognitive behavior therapy helped me keep my humor and learn to not care if people don't like my joke or reference. To wait for them to ask for clarification, and only give clarification if they ask. I'm lucky though as my brand of humor isn't really considered to be offensive as I like to "punch up" as it were. Also, most of my references are from the most basic removed shows like The Simpsons so YYMV.

Power off your phone. Tell the officer you forgot to charge the device. If they power it on, oh shit! You forgot your passcode!

Yes, people can be offended or get the wrong idea from a misunderstood joke or a person can feel left out if they don't get a reference. Humor can be a big part of building connection and repiore with people.

Replaying and perseverating on interactions can be a big problem too.

Crash the economy and stock prices. Create a forever war for profiteering. Stick dissidents and the poor into for profit prisons. Consolidate more wealth at the top. The system is working as designed.
