#2 People, traditionally , throw all sorts of things into the privy that they don't want to be closely inspected. It can also be a good place to stash contraband, if reasonible precautions are taken. In the mid 1800's many western American forts were dry. Alchol was not allowed. The officers got around this by declaring that wine and brandy were medicine, not alcohol. The troops couldn't afford the high-priced booze so they safely stored their hootch on a strap hung from a nail placed on the underside of the toilet bench. The officers never inspected the bowels of the latrine.
