I have to admit that I've not flown since early in the summer, pre-Chechnea. Although I did see a FA being wanded, and only her, no one was touched by a screener. Maybe I just happened to hit a time when no one set off an alarm. I do recall the line being very short.

So, are you saying that screeners DON'T change gloves between patdowns?

If that is true, it would be another great way to tie up the lines - demand that gloves be changed.
