Well, considering that the process of drying actually kills a *lot* of bacteria/viruses it’s highly likely it would have to happen before the sweat evaporates.
That said, I have no wish to “try my luck” on that.
PS - You only asked if there was an STD which could be spread by skin-to-skin contact; I have provided one case for you — the answer is YES.
He didn't specify skin-to-skin. He was referring to the pat down which should never be skin-to-skin. Most likely that would be skin-to-cloth-to-latex-to-cloth-to-skin.
No, that isn’t what I asked. Go back and read the thread yourself.
The TSA gropefest is bad enough on its own without inventing implausible, silly ass scenarios that do nothing but distract from the real issue of Freedom.
If we make the issue hygiene and sanitation, then what do we do when they make adjustments that answer those concerns?
More kids will get lice from school mates than air passengers will get from each other during pat downs.
The issue must stay focused on Freedom.
