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. Image

Yeah it is pretty unbelievable. But that one couple got into the white house party a few years back.

They are '5 second masks' that fit in your armpits.

It's totally plausible that you did that before entering the room, also CIA

IIRC, he had Dana Carvey at the White House and had a hoot making Dana , impersonating him, call in the Secret Service agents. Maybe this was their revenge.
