The TSA is getting hammered in the public arena and I do confess that I'm enjoying the thumbing toward federal authority.



It's a treat.  I love being American.

Forget the gloves.  I like walking in my socks where about 10,000 other people have walked barefoot and in their socks immediately before me the past hour.

I say get hard right before getting felt up.  They hesitate after hitting wood.  WTF would they ask you next?  Last time I checked it's not illegal to have a hard on.

They probably have to change them at least every 4 hours or so. That is what most health departments require. After being soiled or after 4 hours of continuous wear.

What would they do if you moved toward their hand when they started to touch your junk?



It would be interesting to find out what they would do.



Do they want to touch your junk or not?

In my 3 years working for the TSA at LAX, we changed them constantly, they are infact nitrile gloves and are not plesant to wear all that long,
They are not changing them with every single person, especially if its busy and you go from patdown to patdown for up to a half hour at a time, but if you get a 2 min break between patdowns the first thing anyone does is get those damn things off and no one ever reused them that i saw, One thing that would make them change often is screening someone nasty, i have patted down people that afterwards i realy wanted to shower, and thats pretty damn bad, most people would change just because they wanted the filth off of them, its easy to end up scratching your face a few min later and a very nasty mistake to realise halfway through the scratch.
i had more than a few co workers that were very clean and would change them every person just so they felt they were being fair to people, so its realy person to person but there was no requirement at the time i worked there to change them at all.

in my first 3 months on the job i wore them all the time, being the first days of TSA at LAX we worked 10 hour days 6 days a week, i wore gloves so much my hands were sweating the whole time, and after a few weeks they realy started to dry out and cracked like crazy, took me 3 months to heal and it was hard to even go to work during that time, only way they healed was by not wearing gloves at all and i didnt wear gloves for a good year after that, but i washed like crazy to the point of clean freak status, it was easyer on my hands at the time. eventually got back into the habbit because we did screen some very very nasty people. and managing the least time wearing them is best, i was not the only one having skin problems with them.

If it was an actual sexual assault I'd think the guy would probably change his gloves, yes.

Take a grey hound if you are that fuckin paranoid. I just don't understand it... Even if you have a micro-dick its not like they could identify you and make that info public.. I don't see why some of you are so upset. It boggles my mind. The TSA agents (if you opt to go through the x-ray) see an obscure image of you.... Fuck it, nevermind. I dont even know how to explain how retarded this paranoia is. Drive or take a bus. Quit complaining that the .gov isn't doing enough against terrorism if you're going to bring up stupid shit like this.

You have to change them between patients.  4 hours?  That's ridiculous!

Infection

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Potential Hazard

Exposure of employees to community and nosocomial infections, e.g., Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Nosocomial infections are infections that occur from exposure to infectious organisms found in facilities such as hospitals. Health care workers are exposed to these organisms and can then become infected and/or become carriers and spread the infection to other staff and patients.
   
Possible Solutions
Follow the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard if exposure to blood or OPIM is anticipated including universal precautions.


Use appropriate hand washing.


According to the CDC appropriate hand washing results in a reduced incidence of both nosocomial and community infections. Guidelines from national and international infection prevention and control organizations have repeatedly acknowledged that hand washing is the single most important procedure for preventing infections. Despite this, compliance with hand washing by health care providers is poor.


Hand washing with plain soap (detergents) is effective in removing most transient microbial flora. The components of good hand washing include using an adequate amount of soap, rubbing the hands together to create some friction, and rinsing under running water. The mechanical action of washing and drying removes most of the transient bacteria present.


Washing hands as promptly and thoroughly as possible between patient contacts and after contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and equipment or articles contaminated by them is an important component of infection control and isolation precautions.
To help protect exposure to infectious materials, wash your hands:
Wear gloves: In addition to hand washing, gloves play an important role in reducing the risks of transmission of microorganisms.


Gloves are worn for three important reasons in hospitals.


First, gloves are worn to provide a protective barrier and to prevent gross contamination of the hands when touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes, and non-intact skin; as mandated by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard 1910.1030.


Second, gloves are worn to reduce the likelihood that microorganisms present on the hands of personnel will be transmitted to patients during invasive or other patient-care procedures that involve touching a patient's mucous membranes and non-intact skin.


Third, gloves are worn to reduce the likelihood that hands of personnel contaminated with microorganisms from a patient or object can transmit these microorganisms to another patient. In this situation, gloves must be changed between patient contacts and hands washed after gloves are removed.

Wearing gloves does not replace the need for hand washing, because gloves may have small, in-apparent defects or may be torn during use, and hands can become contaminated during removal of gloves. Failure  to change gloves between patient contacts is an infection control hazard.


Hand washing according to the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard:
Employers must ensure that employees wash hands and any other skin with soap and water or flush mucous membranes with water as soon as feasible after contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(vi)].


Employers must provide readily accessible hand washing facilities, [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(iii)]  and ensure that employees wash their hands immediately or as soon as feasible after removal of gloves [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(v)].


When provision of hand washing facilities is not feasible, the employer shall provide either an appropriate antiseptic hand cleanser in conjunction with clean cloth/paper towels or antiseptic towelettes. When antiseptic hand cleansers or towelettes are used, hands shall be washed with soap and running water as soon as feasible [29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(2)(iv)].

The next terrorist attack will be to send in diseased contagious travelers to act as seeds for the TSA screeners to spread germs.  I expect a national health scare where TSA is central to the transmission.

Remember, this is all about insiders getting wealthy from selling ineffective x-ray naked body scanners - and the TSA must freak everyone out into submission or be pounded on rights abuses, sexual assaults, pedophilia, general groping, demeaning and exposing people with disabilities like ostomys - Stewardesses with breast prosthesis, forcing parents to assist the government in strip searching children - this is beyond crazy and does nothing about security.

Its ALL about forcing you to let TSA see you naked in over-priced, ineffective body scanners that were sold as a bill of goods to us all by insiders.

Another failed government program, and the TSA employees don't have a clue that they are being used by their superiors to sell worthless equipment.  TSA employees are TOOLS of people who are profiting from this nightmare of rights abuses.
