A young Asian man successfully boarded a plane in Hong Kong disguised as an elderly Caucasian man. Governments in Hong Kong and Canada are reviewing their security procedures at airports. Supposedly, the Asian man in his 20's wore a silicone mask to disguise himself. The man boarded the plane wearing the disguise and using a U.S. passport of a white man born in 1955. Sometime during the flight the man removed his mask, which alerted airplane staff who then notified the Canadian authorities. When the man arrived in Vancouver, border officers met him at the gate. An immigration hearing for the man is expected to take place later this week in Canada. As of now, there has been no link to terrorism.
