Imposter on Canadian plane--Didn't you use to be an old white guy?

Look at the photos in this article.

I bet the Mission Impossible theme that followed him around also betrayed him to the authorities.

Or the smoking tape recorder.

I was very disturbed by this story. I read in another article that he was using someone else’s ID. That person was born in 1955, as was I.

Which means one of the following:

A) They pay absolutely no attention to your ID if you don’t look Muslim.

B) They can’t do the rather math easy mathematics. Gentleman looks at least 80, therefore if his identity is valid it should say he was born between 1930 and 1940.

C) The young twits that work security think that 55 year olds are this decrepit

Why did he bother to change midway through the flight? Didn’t he know that would tip people off?

That’s what I’m saying. What a dumb ass. And that costume was supposed to be of a man who is 55? Who the hell looks like that at 55?!

Perhaps the rubber mask was so uncomfortable that he felt the need to remove it?

Alcoholics?

::d&r::

I laughed. :smiley:

No…my ex is 55 and an alcoholic and he doesn’t look anywhere near that bad…

That was my first thought…did they really think he looked like a 55-year-old?

Also, isn’t it required, even in Hong Kong, to show a PHOTO ID before you’re allowed to board a plane? How is it that they noticed his “young hands” (but didn’t, apparently, do anything about it), but not the fact that he looked nothing like the photo on his passport? Weird.
