In 2010, a young Chinese asylum seeker was discovered on a flight to Vancouver after he was able to board it disguised as an elderly white man by wearing a remarkably effective silicone mask called The Elder which was made by a Hollywood-based company named SPFXMasks. He was released 3 months later
>[He removed the mask](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Canada_masked_stowaway_case) in the aircraft lavatory later in the flight, and a passenger alerted the crew after a young Asian man tried to occupy the seat formerly occupied by what appeared to be an old white man. The crew questioned the man and then alerted authorities who took the man into custody after landing. He requested asylum in Canada, and was released on bond three months later…The incident was detailed in a confidential CBSA alert titled “Unbelievable Case Of Concealment”…In Hong Kong, an organized crime probe was launched after this case embarrassed security services, and several people were arrested and convicted in conjunction with this and related cases.

Maybe that’s what the problem was, the mask is too good.
As realistic as the mask is, it still looks like a fake old guy lol.
