Man detained after boarding airplane in diguise
It was like a scene from Mission Impossible.
On Oct. 29 an unidentified Asian man in his 20s
disguised himself as an elderly white man,
slipped past customs at Hong Kong airport,
and boarded an Air Canada flight to Vanvcouver.
Everything went smoothly at first.
But once on the plane passengers noticed
something was amiss.
The old man had the hands of a young man.
In the middle of the flight he went to the restroom
and emerged a young Asian man.
When the plane landed
Canadian customs escorted him off the plane.
They found in his luggage a disguise kit
that included a hat, a silicone mask
glasses and a cardigan.
Authorities believe he performed a boarding pass swap.
They said a US passport was also involved.
The investigation continues.
