“Chinese Secret”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/11/young-asian-boards-flight-to-canada-in-eerily-lifelike-disguise-as-elderly-male/1

A young Chinese man disguised as an elderly Caucasian man boarded a plane from Hong Kong to Canada to declare refugee status. Airline officials were fooled by his convincing “old man” prosthetic mask, though his hands looked too young for him to be old, and he was too polite to be American.

The incident raises safety concerns. Not only regarding airport security, but since the mask came from China, it probably contains lead paint.

The story has excited the imagination of mystery lovers. The mystery: why would anyone want to go to Canada?

China plans to use this aging make-up technology to get 14-year-olds into the next Olympics.
