I was in a Rudy's the other day and saw one of these, and immediately thought of the original thread.

The problem that I had with it, is that it is not super easy to use, if it would have been a few inches higher, or maybe stuck out a little further, it would have been easier, and it is a great concept. so now what will happen, people will get the door open about two inches, and then grab the outside of the door at what will amount to shoulder height -- spreading the germs to the outside as well

lol probably too expensive. Im telling you........... even tho they are ultra-high traffic......airport bathrooms are usually the best (at least for men). They have those open-door designs and then everything inside is motion activated. One can walk in, take care of biz, wash and dry, and walk out with out ever touching a thing......well.....there is the ONE thing.........LOL

"If you do any kind of swabs, you'll find out that it's majority fecal matter on the door handles," Arnold said.

Now that's just gross.

hahaha Yep. It is fecal matter........BLECH!

Matthew I agree with you on the airport bathrooms. You never really touch ANYTHING. Everything is automated and there are no doors. Gotta LOVE that. Same thing with the newer mall bathrooms.
