Looks like "Nomal" is a typo for "normal", based on Google Translate's translation of 正常.

I keep many lists in Wunderlist and I hardly ever set reminders or due dates.

There was a mention:

I was once pulled aside for secondary screening by the TSA, and I was so bewildered that they asked if I'd taken a cab to the airport—and I had. The agent explained that it's a common cause of false positives like mine—"residue" gets left behind on the seats. I didn't feel like pressing them for more details, though.
