Reminds of that movie, “Gotcha!” with Anthony Edwards when his character has to sneak out of East Berlin with the help of a goth/punk band. When they pick him up in the van they are traveling in he tells the band his trouble and they promptly dress him up and put make up on him to make him look like part of the band. The Stasi takes photos of him but still let him through the border.

This also reminds of the razzle dazzle camoflage they tried out on warships during WWII.

Ahead of their time.

So I guess if you go to the airport looking like any of those face examples you might not be detected? Right!

I can't see why they'd draw special attention.

If you want on or off this aerospace ping list, please contact Paleo Conservative or phantomworker by Freep mail.

On the show "Masterminds" a counterfeiter used a $3 tube of metallic art paint and a hand-cut rubber stamp to circumvent a new million dollar anti-counterfeiting measure on Canadian money a few years back. The funniest part: It worked perfectly on his very first attempt!
