Prehaps a TSA employee could comment on if there is or is not any policy that states how often gloves are changed, but even if there is, I know it's just human nature to not change the gloves EACH time. After all the screeners wear gloves to protect them, not us.

I would guess I've had my carry-on bags hand searched in SSSS 8-10 times in the past few years, and the only place that gave me any attitude about change gloves before they touched my bags was EWR

FWIW I'm the type of person who would ask my Doctor or Dentist to change gloves in front of me if I hadn't seen them do it(knowing that they should have just from force of habit) the point is I want to watch the doctor or screener or sandwich maker at the sub shop do it where I can see them so I know it's done.
