Totally normal. I mean, who hasn't done that?
His only surprise was a reporter who was tipped off and waiting with a camera for him. I wonder what's in the satchel, going and coming?
I guess you missed this element of the story. I'll bet you also missed his late in life (cover?) marriage, and his previous "all male" social life.

LOL! You should call Sherlock Holmes. Imagine a free society where you are allowed to travel. Here, blowing your nose leads to suspicion. The conspiracy theorists are hysterical. Thanks!
