Going through security can make you ill. WASH YOUR HANDS!

Seems those trays that you put your coats, bags, belts, shoes, phones and the like into for x-ray examination are filthy.

Can't say that I'm surprised by the researchers findings, any place that has a concentration of people passing through is a germ magnet. And it includes hospitals too.

I always wonder how many germs are lurking on the floor when ordered to take my shoes off, goodness knows what some people have stepped in ....like dog poop on a pavement recently. :ymsick:

And then you've got all those germs on the aeroplane; you just don't know when the tray was last cleaned and how many babies have been changed on it since. Then the next worry is where did the nappy go. :ymsick: And I never go to the toilet in bare feet. The list is endless, perhaps next time I fly I'll wear a protective suit! :)

Even without the trays, going past some security staff makes me ill anyway.
