Nov 5 2010Uh-Oh: Ol' Geezer Mask Fools Airport Security
Apparently a Chinese man successfully boarded a flight from Hong Kong to Canada wearing a mask that made him look like an old-ass white guy. Mid-flight dude decided to take the mask off in the bathroom, which landed him in the hands of Border Service Officers upon the plane's Canadian arrival. Probably should have kept it on, bro. You know the saying, "when the coast is clear"? It wasn't yet. Like, not at all.
"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."
The agency would not discuss when or why the man put on the disguise or details about how he boarded the plane. But the alert indicated that the suspect boarded the plane with a board pass belonging to another passenger."It is believed that the subject and the actual United States Citizen passenger (whose date of birth is 1955) performed a boarding pass swap, with the subject using an Aeroplan card as identification to board the flight," the alert said.
Aeroplan is a credit card where card holders can earn frequent flyer miles.
So what do you make of this? Espionage? A guy who just really wanted to visit Canada? Also, how do we know he wasn't wearing TWO masks and is actually an alien? Bet you never thought of that one, did you, airport security?! That's exactly why I'm nominating myself for Director of Worldwide Travel Security. First order of business: appointing myself a DD.

Thanks to Brian, who once tried wearing Ugg boots on a flight but was detained by security because they thought he was a Yeti. And to comfort eagle, who was detained by security for being a f***ing eagle. WHY WERE YOU TAKING A PLANE ANYWAYS?!

WIN!
he was probably just doing it to see if anyone would notice. would have been cool if no one had noticed.
just like last weeks The Office episode where they see if Stanley would notice all the odd stuff.

Surely when he spoke they may of twigged on, or looking at his hands..
Or the fact that the mask looks like he has his eyes closed tight ...
The more i think about this the more i can't beleive someone couldnt tell the guys skin wasnt moving at all when he spoke or anything..

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where John Travolta was trying to find a bomb and swapped faces with Nic Cage just as a bloody Bruce Willis sprayed the building with bullets screaming, "Yippykai Yay Mutherfuckers!!!"
It's the movie that Stallone turned because he didn't want to be typecast. just sayin

This looks shopped. I can tell from the pixels and having boarded quite a few airplanes in my time.
Also, the guy just wanted to proove that security x-ray scanners are just a scam to harrass people and get them used to having no rights at all. That's why he went to Canada in the first place. Asians aren't that paranoid.
You can tell that I'm right from the statement that "The agency would not discuss when or why the man put on the disguise or details about how he boarded the plane".
For a shitstorm would break lose.

I'm drunk. Here is what I wanted to say:

12 is a gay spammer.

@13 No I'm not. I really will oh make you satisfied.
15. scatze - November 5, 2010 12:25 PM
So let me get this straight, the Chinese customs agents thought the masked dude was 55? That mask is of an 85 year old guy at least. AND his hands were that of twenty year old?
Talk about your fails...

1955 would only have him in his 50's, but he looks more like he'd have been born in in the 1930's.
23. Dishy - November 5, 2010 2:24 PM
They'd never let the young guy into Canada. He looks too much like Justin Bieber.
24. Dishy - November 5, 2010 2:28 PM
They'd never let the old guy into Canada. He looks too much like Scrotie McBoogerballs.

Those silly Chinese make me laugh when they aren't busy running bots on silly MMORPGs.
