I was going throught securiyt for a flight to LA last Thursday. The people in front of me were asked to take there shoes off and the shoes were CAREFULLY examined by the TSA agent with latex gloves. Oh man, those shoes were really stinky. Even people at the end of the 15-person long line were muttering something about those stinky shoes.

Unfortunately, I was the next one to be searched. Thanks to the portable projector and laptop in my carry-on. Also in the carry-on were my clean underware and shirts. Using the SAME pair of latex gloves, the agent went through my stuff...

I didn't say anything because I was really late for my flight and didn't want to cause a scene... To put it politely, my stuff now smell like those people's stinky shoes...

What shoudl I do next time this happens? How can I politely request the TSA agents to put on new gloves before going through my stuff?

Thanks!
