New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting India today, where he will have an important meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Putin remains in the news not only for his diplomacy but also for his unique and extremely strict security arrangements. Putin’s security is handled by Russia’s Federal Protective Service (FSO), considered one of the world’s most secretive security agencies.
Every small activity during his foreign travel is closely monitored, even his stool has a special protocol.
Poop Suitcase
An interesting fact about Putin’s security system is his poop suitcase, which has always attracted global attention. A TOI report states that whenever Putin travels abroad, his bodyguards carry a special briefcase. Putin’s feces is safely transported back to Russia, preventing other countries from examining it and guessing about his health.
When did this thing come to light?
This issue gained further attention when Putin traveled to Alaska to meet with President Donald Trump. According to reports, his team also carried a portable lab and sealed bags. Security agencies are keen to ensure that any biological material left behind by Putin does not fall into the hands of foreign intelligence agencies, which could reveal information about his health.
Putin has some disease
The primary reason for Putin’s “poop suitcase” arrangement is the widespread rumors surrounding his health. For years, Putin has been rumored to be suffering from cancer or Parkinson’s disease, though the Russian government has consistently denied these claims. This is why the Kremlin doesn’t risk any medical information being leaked.
What does stool reveal?
According to doctors, human feces can reveal many important health indicators. According to hopkinsmedicine.org, fecal samples can reveal information about the condition of the digestive system, infections, early signs of serious illnesses, and many internal problems. For this reason, leaving Putin’s feces in any foreign country is considered a security risk.
Experts say that the texture, color, and smoothness of stool can also indicate health conditions. Hard and crumbly stools indicate constipation, while very oily stools indicate digestive problems. To maintain Putin’s medical privacy, this unique “poop suitcase protocol” is followed on every trip.
