Airplane Toilet Takes Years off!

    Strange unusual but brilliant story of mans ingenuity.

    An old man goes to the toilet upon a plane and disappears for good.
    What sits back in his seat is a much younger man!
    An elderly white man in a brown cardigan, a leather cap and glasses boarded an Air Canada flight in Hong Kong last week, but when he disembarked in Vancouver he had miraculously transformed into a young Chinese man in his 20s.

    In a remarkable breach of security an unnamed passenger wore a silicone mask to make him look like an elderly man as he went through security and boarded flight AC018 from Hong Kong to Canada.
    During the flight he went to the bathroom, took off his old face and emerged as a different, and much younger-looking, Asian man before going back to his seat.

    An internal intelligence alert from the Canadian Border Service shows before-and-after photos of the passenger, describing him as being seen at the start of the flight as an “elderly Caucasian male who appeared to have young looking hands”. Then later in the flight, “the subject attended the washroom and emerged an Asian looking male that appeared to be in his early 20s.”

    The passenger is now seeking refugee status in Canada in what border officials are calling an “unbelievable case of concealment.”
    The Canadian Border Service report said the man was found carrying a bag that contained a “disguise kit which consisted of a silicone type head and neck mask of an elderly Caucasian male, a brown leather cap, glasses and a thin brown cardigan.”

    The bulletin said information was received by Air Canada Corporate security regarding a possible impostor.
    He is believed to have evaded suspicion after swapping boarding passes with a 55-year-old US citizen as he went through several security checks in Hong Kong.

    A Hong Kong official told the Associated Press that the impostor is a mainland Chinese citizen who was transiting through Hong Kong.
    Air Canada also confirmed the passenger was met by border services officials in Vancouver.
