Security ships at outposts? Is this new?

Other than the scenario where a SC patrolling security ship chases you to an outpost, is it normal - now or in past - for security ships to be stationed at an outpost?

So far, in my week of play, I'd never ran into security ships permanently patrolling outposts - just the bigger babylon 5 type stations and the coreolis ones - basically all the big stations, but never at the little outposts.

Today though, I was coming in with contraband as usual, and as usual for outposts I let docking computer do the work since there's no active smuggling needed - or so I thought.

Got the scan message and saw (too late) 4 security ships on patrol around outpost.

Have I just been super lucky the first week and never seen security around outposts, but this is normal? Or is this highly unusual / shouldn't happen at outposts?
 
If the Fed get involved in the war you way also say Fed warships (ok not capital ships) around outposts, well we did but the only station in the system during the war was a scientific outpost.
