Everyone, including the unopened, had fecal matter on them.

Myth Busters are not scientists, their "studies" are not scientific. Their fecal test is faulty, and most likely a compromised test - especially if sealed unopened brushes tested positive.

One curious finding is the air nozzle of the hand dryers was swabbed, but no bacteria were collected from that testing. Perhaps the bacteria are initially on the floor, stirred by the forceful air blast into circulation? The appliance itself doesn’t seem a likely breeding ground for microbes.
