I see the TSA Agents wear the sterile blue gloves for protection.
Good idea.
One problem I have is that with all my flying (4 million miles) I haven’t noticed any large bins for glove disposal in the TSA Security area.
Are the gloves being re-used from passenger to passenger?
The follow-on question is this:
With the ‘enhanced’ under the waist-band screening we are hearing about, is the TSA using the gloves to only protect themselves while exposing all passengers to the spread of Venereal Diseases?
Nice.
Update:
World Net Daily adds:
Dangers include syphilis, lice, viruses, ringworm, chlamydia, staph, strep, noro and papilloma viruses all are part of the possible fringe benefits when airline passengers next go through a full hands-on pat-down by agents of the federal government’s Transportation Security Administration, according to doctors.
WND reported two days ago on alarmed passengers who noted that TSA agents doing the pat-downs that have been described by critics as molestation since they include touching private body parts were not changing gloves between passengers. In fact, some apparently were patting down dozens of passengers or more wearing the same gloves.
But neither the TSA nor federal agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control was willing to comment on the possibilities that infections and other loathsome afflictions could be passed from passenger to passenger.
Now two doctors – and several others – have confirmed that there is the definite possibility that passengers will be able to catch whatever someone in front of them in line was suffering from via the latex gloves TSA workers use.
