VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A young Asian man who boarded an Air Canada flight elaborately disguised as an elderly white male was intercepted after emerging from a toilet mid-flight without his silicone mask, according to reports.

Officials were notified of a "possible imposter" on an Air Canada flight originating from Hong Kong on Oct. 29. After arriving in Vancouver, the man was escorted off the flight and he subsequently made a claim for refugee protection.

According to an intelligence alert issued by the Canada Border Services Agency, officers later recovered a "disguise kit" — which included "a silicone-type head and neck mask of an elderly Caucasian male, a brown leather cap, glasses and a thin brown cardigan."

The statement described the case as an "unbelievable case of concealment."

Given that this guy was probably trying to escape dangerous living conditions, I think this story is a little inspiring.

But, I'm sure the news outlets and media will turn this into a scary story and soon Canadian airport security is going to offer deep tissue massages to everyone who tries to board a flight. Just like America!

I read about this too, it's kind of hilarious when you realize that he was only truly discovered when he forgot to place his disguise back on after returning from the bathroom.

That is the ugliest disguise ever.

 

[Mota]

That is amazing, but the disguise is pretty ugly you'd think it would gather unwanted attention. Should've got a more 'normal' looking disguise lol, but definitely props to this man

No way, if you're too attractive people won't stop looking at you. You have to be ugly that way they'll be too uncomfortable to stare.

Don't know how he could forget to put it back on. All I'd be thinking is "OMG I hope somebody doesn't realise this is fake".

Authorities also noticed his young looking hands I believe.

and I dunno, I've seen uglier old people before.

"What, no! I'm not in disguise! I just use an amazing moisturizing hand lotion is all!"

I would imagine if you got this ugly head you might as well get some wrinkled hands as well.

I have to say, I'm impressed by this guy's dedication. Too bad he had to make a stupid mistake and screw it up. But I guess then we wouldn't be hearing about it, huh?

That's one helluva Halloween costume!

He must've been really down in Hong Kong to want to pull a stunt like that. I gotta admit - save for forgetting his disguise in the restroom - he was rather smart and bold. I want to know where he got that costume.
