This is pretty amazing. I'm almost entirely sure that he did this to prove a point or to make a good news story.

He asked for asylum I believe? Still amazing of course.

Good thing we have TSA right?

Right?

Airports and airplanes are only as secure as the people running the show. And make no mistake, they're all a show.

Whoever said "that elderly guy has rather young looking hands" must be pretty damn observant.

Wow SO good! Only flaws perhaps is that the face is a little too rough looking. Idk about others but someone that looks so roughed up like that would draw my attention. If the wrinkles were slightly less profound, the mouth/jaw/skin slightly less unsymmetrical, and the eye lids opened up a bit... (especially the eye lids, they're almost closed!).

And yeah he must have been like suffocating under there. Hence the bathroom thing probably. Hmm may be he's a South Koren persecuted because his starcraft skills were too good and he would dominate the likes of Flash and Jaedong too hard! haha
Well this dude must have been really smart or really rich to have gotten so far. Assuming he is smart, he probably took of the mask not just because of uncomfortableness... I don't think he would be stupid enough to do that, people would notice; hey how come this young asian guy is sitting here instead of that old guy?
(correct me if im wrong, im not sure but from what i got from the article he took the mask off and came out an asian? or did he mean to perhaps take the mask off just for a breather and put it back on before leaving the bathroom?)

Either way seems like he's getting what he aimed for!

I imagine the conversation with the stewardess went something like this:

"I'm not really an old white man, I'm a young asian man." "OMG"
"Well actually, I'm not really a young asian man, I'm a horse." "OMG"
"Actually, I'm not really a horse, I'm a broom." *plop*

Maybe its publicity stunt for mission impossible 4 XD.
Anyhow, this is quite cool, tho, i think that mask might be not so convincing up close. I suppose no one made eye contact at all. Normal for complete strangers i suppose.

How did he even see? The mask looks like there is barely holes for eyes, and his eyes would of gave him away anyway.

Yeah, upon looking twice it seems rather rubber-y. And if its like that i think it would be pretty hard to talk as the mask wouldnt move naturally.

Its not the race, its the issue of someone on a terror watch list disguising himself.

I can definitely picture someone with that disguise to be able to communicate without actually talking. As a grumpy old man, you can basically let out grunts and utilize annoyed body gestures to dismiss people around you. It would be so much harder to get away with it if you were wearing a mask of an old and friendly looking white guy.

Red team needs more Pyros. Too many engineers imo. Spies tearing it up all over the place.

So the danger of a bomb depends on the color of your skin? kk.

Plastic face doesn't set off metal detectors or bomb sniffing dogs. I'm just curious how he got the passport that works that's what's concerning about this.
