Canadian authorities are investigating an "unbelievable" incident in which a passenger boarded an Air Canada flight disguised as an elderly man, according to a confidential alert obtained by CNN. The incident occurred on October 29 on Air Canada flight AC018 to Vancouver originating in Hong Kong. An intelligence alert from the Canada Border Services Agency describes the incident as an "unbelievable case of concealment." "Information was received from Air Canada Corporate Security regarding a possible imposter on a flight originating from Hong Kong," the alert says. "The passenger in question was observed at the beginning of the flight to be an elderly Caucasian male who appeared to have young looking hands. During the flight the subject attended the washroom and emerged an Asian looking male that appeared to be in his early 20s."

They saw his hands.

How is this done? The mask covers the neck, also. Amazing.

LOL!

That’s why we gotta give granny a body cavity search.

It’s an SPFX mask:

And gramps too. Don’t forget about gramps.

Thanks. There he is again! They only have one face/style? It really is amazing.

The guy on the right “thug” is also a mask.

My son used to call that the “scary bad guy” mask when he was about 2 or 3. One day we had the TV on and he said “Look, there’s the scary bad guy”. It was Martin Scorsese. I don’t think he has a mustache, but everything else is the same.

I guess they didn’t check the picture or the date of birth in the passport very well....:^)

Why does everyone say it was a mask? Probably just air travel related dehydration. (I’m mostly curious where the kid got those cool mod oval shaped sunglasses.)

I thought the one on the left was a babe!
