I think you're reading more into this habit of his than is actually there. One thing you're reading that I will be totally supportive of you in is that he is being rude. I've never felt particularly threatened by is knowing that the man I'm with likes to take in the scenery. However, I expect a man to have enough on the ball to not let me catch him leering after some hot number that passes by us in public. Apparently a lot of man understand that this bothers a woman. I've been amazed at how careful some men I've known have been to not be caught doing this. I'm sure they would be watching intently, if I weren't there, but they seem to go out of their way to act like they don't even see a shapely figure that I'm noticing myself. I guess that's kind of like a test I put guys through. I think it shows a guy has a little sense about women.

You would have every right to take the matter up with your husband. I might be tempted to say something snide like, "Gee, too bad you don't have her phone number." You got to be careful this doesn't backfire on you. Some guys might think it's fun to provoke you . . . to get a kick out of seeing you be jealous. So I'ld start by not letting him think I'm jealous, but by indicating that I think he is showing a great lack of class.

So to sum it up: Not abnormal to have an interest in looking, but very crude to do it in a way that let's you know he is doing it. You might also tell him that it makes him look pathetic to other people. Men are visual, but they should also be a little bit clever.
