I’ll accept the 'naive' label on this one.

I’ve walked around SF and NYC with prototypes for years without issue. I genuinely failed to code-switch for the environment. I expected a bag search; I didn't expect a 13-hour detention and a forensic code audit.

It felt like 'pantomime' at first, but once the forensic team arrived, it became very real. They weren't performing theater; they were genuinely verifying the interrupt handlers in the code.
