Asian man boards Vancouver-bound flight disguised as elderly Caucasian

I travelled through HKG 4 times this summer. I have NO idea how something like this would ever happen.

Like all airports, there are various security checks, scans and to get anywhere close to the gates you need a boarding pass, which they check with your passport.

Asian man boards Vancouver-bound flight disguised as elderly Caucasian

Before and after pictures from the Canadian Border Services Agency of a man who was caught trying to enter Canada on an Air Canada flight from Hong Kong which he boarded disguised as an old man. In what the agency is describing as an "unbelievable case of concealment," the man apparently stripped off a plastic mask in the airplane's washroom and emerged as a young man, who then tried to claim refugee status.
