Again your all worried about 10-15 seconds of walking on the floor than other parts of travelling. If food can stay on the floor for up to 45 seconds without contracting any germs, I'm sure 15 seconds is harmless for the majority. There are probably times where we have walked bare foot outside or wherever that would be just as, if not more 'germy' than an airport floor.
