Crime, Politics and Policy addressed the biohazards of the TSA's new policy in an article posted Wednesday morning, November 24th. Now, the cross-contamination peril of the TSA's by-hand pat-down for people afraid of the naked body scanners has been addressed by a major news service, World Net Daily.
The World Net Daily report, posted late the evening before Thanksgiving, recognized (as we did) that the infection-spreading risk extended to patdowns over clothing. While Crime, Politics and Policy merely addressed by name one particular pathogen -- fecal coliform -- Bob Unruh's article at http://www.wnd.com/ highlighted a whole list of nasty germs, bugs and parasites, from syphillis and staph to the dreaded norovirus.
I emphasize for your protection the doctor's warning in the article that travelers facing the plastic glove should remove their clothes and shower ASAP after the encounter.
