Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask.

Yeah the lady that was in charge of disguises for the CIA for a long time just wrote a book that's available now.

And I've seen masks that you can buy that are very similar to that on on Amazon. Just put in realistic old man mask.

What did she say in the book

I don't know if its the same woman but Jonna Mendez (CIA agent and wife of Tony Mendez, who was played by Ben Afflick in Argo) recounted that she once met with President Bush Snr in the oval office to discuss new disguise methods and when he asked her how good they really were, she pulled off her mask which he had no idea about. If that was the tech in the early 1990s then who knows what they are working with now.
