Really? So we want the Federal government deciding what is normal and what is abnormal? For one, I think photos of airport security are very interesting. In fact, they just had a picture of airport security in the NY Times, a paper I find interesting.

Second, just because it is abnormal to do, we have laws, rights, and regulations to protect the minority. Many of this country's laws were created to protect minority opinions, and doing what the OP did may fall under those guidelines.

I don't want to overblow the situation, but within my lifetime a black person going to school with a white person was not normal. A Catholic being friends with a Presbyterian was not normal. My wife is a different race, and in many states, when I was born, it would have been illegal for us to get married. I think it's normal, but many, apparently didn't.

The point is police, security, and TSA should worry about policing crime, not deciding if something is normal.
