When I was in high school, the wrestling teams in our area all had their season cancelled because kids were coming down with strange skin diseases from the wresting mats.

It is called herpes gladitorium. It probably came from the mats and could easily come from TSA gloves.
A younger relative got herpes gladiatorum decades ago. It cost his parents a small fortune to get the correct diagnosis as no one really knew about it then.
Since then, his parents and he in his adult life have spent a small fortune on the oral anti viral drugs to prevent or control painful Herpes breakouts on his body, neck and cheeks.

If wrestling mats can carry and transmit Hepres gladiatorum, those blue gloves of the TSA SS troopers will probably do the same.
