Man in disguise boards international flight

On October 29, a young Asian man succeeded to get on a plane from Honkong to Vancouver, but he didn’t check in with his own identity. He was disguised as an old, Caucasian male, he probably used the boarding pass from another passenger.

On the plane, the man who was sitting next to the Asian, noticed that the ‘older man’ had very young hands, so he thought it was suspicious. During the flight, the Asian man went to the washroom and he came back without his disguise. At that point, the security service of Canada Airlines got the information that there was a swindler on board.


After the landing of the plain in Canada, the Border Services Officers, escorted the man of the plain. The man proceeded to make a claim for refugee protection.


The security services of Canada Airlines are now investigating this strange case. It is certain that there has been going something very wrong during the passport control.

To my opinion, it is alarming that it is possible to get on a plane disguised in another person. Fortunately, nothing bad happened during this flight but it could have been a terrorist who tried to blow up the plane. I think it is strange that this could happen because I think that a plane is the most secured way to travel.

  1. I agree with Kimberley her opinion. They always say that the security on an airport is very high. In this case you can see that is still possible to pass trough the security with another identity. Luckily, nothing happened but it could also be a terrorist who tried to explode the airplane full of innocent people.
