[nagdu] EXTERNAL:Re: Guide dogs and airport security

[Albert J Rizzi]

Ok, hiv and aids are not able to be transferred by contact. The gloves are
worn out of proper hygiene any cavity searches would most certainly not be
done by airport security and not without dinner and a proper introduction.,.

I've noticed that all the airport personnel that pat us down and pat our 
dogs down wear those latex gloves. I never thought they would do any cavity 
checks out on the line!  they wear the gloves to avoid coming in contact 
with someone's bodily secretions - a practice beginning with dealing with 
people with HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases.
