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."

Flying is dangerous all around. If not on the soil then in the air. There's no winning.
Right now, what a terrorist would do seems merciful. Disease via gloves, cancer via scanners are long term conditions. Being blown up is quick and painful for a short time. Really there's no escaping discomfort.
Lessons from Der Gropenfuhrer..
First the Regime infects us.
Then the Regime takes away our medical care.
They’re not wearing gloves to protect the public. They’re wearing gloves to protect themselves. Ewwww & yuk indeed!

Now they’re trying to scare people into using the body scanners. You just can’t win.
I’m never flying again.
I’m really surprised they are not changing gloves between pats, who ever heard of such a thing? and I’m also really surprised they’re using latex, as some people are very allergic to latex. I suppose next we’ll find out they are Powdered Gloves, meaning even more chance of airborne contamination. I’ll take it for granted they haven’t the foggiest on how to properly remove or dispose of gloves, either.
I really feel for all you flyers. I’m glad not to have to right now.
Didn’t some stowaway just fall out of a plane when the landing gear was opened? Are they going to start strip searching the planes now?
The Airports need to start hiring PRIVATE companies to handle security and dump the TSA.
The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protects us from unreasonable search and seizure without probable cause. I believe it’s time to sue.
Obama is doing everything he can to destroy our Constitution.
