I'm pretty sure one of the ways they said the Dallas nurse(s) might have contracted the disease was by touching something that came in contact with the patient. So, if he touches one of those guys in the hazmat suits, or the red bag full of whatever... even if he touches the hand rail after the hazmat guy touches it on the way up the stairs... isn't the potential for transmission there?

The reason the person they are transporting has the disease is because they didn't treat it like it was highly contagious. Don't you think they should have learned their lesson my now?

Ebola can survive for at least many hours in most cases outside the host. Up to six DAYS in some cases. So yes, one can pick it up from contaminated materials. Contaminated with bodily fluids that include spittle, sweat, cough and sneeze droplets, etc.
