Dangers include syphilis, lice, viruses, ringworm
Syphilis, lice, gonorrhea, 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.
There is no doubt that bacteria (staph, strep, v.cholerae etc.) and viruses (noro, enteroviruses, herpes, hepatitis A and papilloma viruses) can be spread by contaminated vinyl or latex gloves," Dr. Thomas Warner of Wisconsin told WND in a letter to the editor.
"If a traveler has diarrhea and is soiled, as can and does happen, the causative agent can be spread by this method since bacteria and viruses in moist environments have greater viability."

You're right. It's clean inside the gloves.
It would be a nice way to live. We have lots of great rivers in this country.....they are really expensive to rent by the week or month also...could be a money maker part time...
It’s quite obvious that Homeland Security is more concerned about the health of their renta-cops than for the American public. The gloves are to keep germs off THEM while they grope away at the throngs of US.
In other words, we are TRASH.
Even clothes can carry bacteria from one person to another in the pat downs. A pair of fresh gloves should be used by TSA agents....could even contract bed bugs....
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Sadeq Naji Ahmed - the Transportation Security Administration
hired him as an airport screener after the Air Force kicked him out for making
statements supporting Osama bin Laden and praising the 9/11 attacks.
Ahmed worked almost a year before enough people at the TSA found that
he previously had his security clearance revoked and had to let him go."
What if flyers started to carry their own latex gloves and requested or demanded the “patter” put on the fresh gloves? Would that traveler then be considered a terrorist or disrupter? This could be a money maker if the airline sold the gloves to people going through the line. Also, aren’t all these gloves being disposed of hurting the landfills or something? Just random thoughts.
