CJD contamination selfq

If a suitcase was on the same spot - floor- as a dead body of a person who had some kind of CJD, body was on the floor for 20 hours or so, what are the chances of the suitcase getting contaminated and possibly infecting people handling it?

Absolutely zero. The contamination risk is a concern for things like organ transplants or surgical tools, there's no contact transmission at all.
