Man boards plane in disguise

A young Asian man recently boarded an international Canada Air flight disguised as an elderly white man. Flight attendants were alerted by a passenger who noticed the unnatural plastic-like appearance of the man's skin and the disproportionate comparison to the skin on his hands. At one point in the flight the elderly-looking man had gone to the plane's lavatory and returned as a young Asian man without the disguise. The attendants were not able to pursue the man during the flight on the grounds that he had done nothing wrong. It is unknown what type of identification the man used to pass through airport security in Hong Kong, and what his motives were in elaborately disguising himself. Upon landing he was questioned by Canada Border Services Agency officials. Both the agency and the airline are conducting investigations.
