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!</font>
Yuck.

Insist they put on new gloves. Be polite at first of course, but I would refuse to let them anywhere near my stuff with out fresh gloves.
