Don’t forget the drop seat for the TSA exam.

Is that something like the sedes stercoraria?

According to legend, there used to be a perforated chair—the sedes stercoraria, or “dung chair”—on which the newly elected pope had to sit to have his private parts examined. This wasn’t done for health reasons, but to verify that the head of the Catholic Church would be a “biological” male. A visual (only?) check ensured that a disguised woman couldn’t infiltrate and seize power at the Vatican.
