In November 2010 an Asian man in his early 20s from rural China managed to board an Air Canada flight to Vancouver disguised as an elderly white man. He took off his mask in the airplane's bathroom, and made a claim for refugee status upon landing in British Columbia. Edmonds was interviewed by several national news outlets for his professional opinion on how the disguise was accomplished.
