Lightbulb Sanitation

So i have noticed that the TSA never change gloves. As an EMT I hold some issue with this.

I don't want someone else's cause for a skin rash to jump to me because they [TSA] felt around their [other passenger] pants line or under their dress before a gloved hand go around my neck/collar and on my clothing...

I don't believe swine flu was a true pandemic but I am curious... If something similar were to happen (or even during a regular flu season) how fast would that jump from person to person being patted down? The gloves may protect the TSA agent from direct transmission by contact but not us if they are used to touch person after person.
