Was the above UA passenger, whether or not alarming a WTMD, subjected to an unnecessarily long, up front and personal, TSA grope-fest that made the TSA agents to become even more harmful to the health of passengers in the US than is already the case with the "enhanced" pat-down rub-downs?
The question I have is how long the germ lives outside the human body. The only place the TSA would have contacted the passenger is IAD, but then depending on how many others they touched next and how long the germ can survive on human skin or luggage it could have gone to all points UA goes from IAD.
