I like to believe that people with quirky senses of humour see the various social conventions and other broadly treated as "this is the way things are done" patterns of behavior in human societies with a different perspective so often see the silly side of many such things (hence the quirky sense of humour), making them significantly less likely to simply submit to arbitrary orders from those in positions of authority than the average person.

People that don't just meekly comply are more disliked by "little dictators" - people in positions were they have a little bit of power which they use to push others around to satisfying petty personal needs to feel powerful.

One time a TSA guy started to open my wife's carry-on, which she had packed VERY tightly. She said, "Careful, it might explode." This got a raised eyebrow.

Christians are rather offensive people. Especially the ones that force religion and their laws on people.

I suspect it's a bit more of Security Theatre
