They do change them after every customer. There aren’t that many going thru the groping. You shouldn’t have to ask, but I sure would if they don’t.

Pistole said on CNN the gloves can be swabbed for residue that would indicate explosives & that was why they scrape around inside the belt line.

Does anybody know exactly what brand/type of glove they are using? Would help to have that information.

“They do change them after every customer...”

Are they practicing hand washing between every glove change? If they aren't they can simply contaminate the ‘fresh’ glove. The same as spreading contagions through food preparation.

“....It has been demonstrated that both the interior and exterior of gloves can become contaminated with surface hand microorganisms if the hands are not washed prior to gloving (Docket C-3). Hands themselves can also be contaminated with organisms found on the glove surface...”

Thank you for the info. Since I don’t fly, I have not seen the procedure. :)

And probably put the used gloves back in an original box...and save them for tomorrow.

Next day's customers see them pulling a "new" pair out of an original box...
