Talk about being waste carrier. Like literally.
Apart from his running bodyguards, Kim Jong-un also brought along his own portable toilet to Singapore for the Trump-Kim Summit.
Kim brings personal toilet to Singapore
The toilet arrived in an IL-76 cargo jet, one of Kim's three aircraft that arrived in Changi Airport on June 10, along with his limousine and food to last his entire stay in Singapore.
Kim is said to always travel with several portable toilets, including one in his bullet-proof Mercedes.
Excretions contain health-related information
According to The Chosun Ilbo, the portable toilets will deny determined sewer divers insights into the North Korean leader's stools.
A former North Korean Guard Command shared that Kim has a personal toilet that "follows him around when he travels" as his excretions contain information about his health status that cannot be "left behind".
Toilet used for medical checks too
Aside from his own safety, Kim has his personal toilet for health reasons too.
According to the Daily NK, his urine and fecal matters are periodically examined to check for illnesses and other health indicators.

Same strategy as planes
Besides travelling with more than one plane to obscure his exact location, Kim's loos also operate the same way.
There are multiple vehicles within the convoy he travels with so that people cannot tell which one he is in, and there is a separate car that acts as his restroom, it was reported in 2015 by the DailyNK.
"The restrooms are not only in Kim Jong Un's personal train but whatever small or midsize cars he is traveling with and even in special vehicles that are designed for mountainous terrain or snow," a source said.
