Latex gloves are usually buff/off-white colored and are not generally used at security checkpoints because they are more chemically permeable than nitrile gloves. People with latex allergies should be fine.
Correct; I have not encounted a latex glove in the US security checkpoints in a few years. There are some buff/off-white latex-free gloves. If you are in doubt, ask to see the box. I do always have some vinyl gloves in my bag "just in case".
