Carrying Poop in a Suitcase: A Common Practice?

tl;dr – As a head of state, you can never be too careful. 

Just a few weeks ago (though it feels like forever ago, given how quickly the news moves nowadays), I documented the drama surrounding the Alaska Summit, and how several documents, including the menu that Putin and Trump enjoyed, were found in the business center of a nearby hotel. Another tidbit of news that ‘came out’ was that Vladimir Putin’s security staff carries around a suitcase to collect the Russian leader’s waste.

Evidently, this is a common practice for many world leaders as collecting one’s fecal waste ensures that no would-be ‘scavengers’ can intercept that waste and run tests on it to ascertain vital medical and health data. 

Kewl. 

This got me thinking – what if it were common practice for EVERYONE to carry around a poop suitcase?

Scene – You’re having dinner at a friend’s house and need to hit the John. 

“Oh, Hey Adam, watch the flush in the foyer bathroom, we’ve been having trouble with it.”

“No worries, you know me – I plan to poop and scoop.”

Sigh.

Me brimming with curiosity about the world:

Me, wishing I could turn back the clock after learning about poop portage:
